Classic Start Menu for the win!
I cannot get to grips with the XP or the Vista/7 style start menu tbh.

I agree with Grake, I hate the Vista start menu, and that did not change even after using it for a full semester in a technical class. I can't understand why MS thinks extra scrolling and clicking is "cool", and I can't stand the entire look of the menu. It's totally discombobulated. I can't stand KDE 4 (Linux) for the same reason...and now they have the same issue as MS trying to push new people to 4 while Linux veterans are finding ways to revert their systems back to 3. Except it's not so critical because it's only the desktop, not an OS, and not undoable thanks to Linux's modular design. (Also, in addition to copying Vista, I hate that KDE 4 got rid of the option to edit the menu.)

As much as I love the XP start menu, I felt like awergh when I first upgraded from ME...

definiatly classic, ive always hated how the xp one took half the screen before you even went to programs, and i thought the vista one was just weird

...the "pin to Start Menu" feature really hooked me, though. And the 2-column layout doesn't matter now, where the smallest screen is big compared to a few years ago.

I would hate to not be able to organize my stuff and just crossed my fingers hoping the search feature actually found what I needed.

What a horrible, horrible idea they have -- no folders??? It's one thing to recognize that computer-illiterate users may not be organized -- quite another to trash people's organization.

Yeah, XP is the end of the MS line for me, no doubt about that.
