I'm running 7 (only use it for work stuff), and mine looks pretty
traditional! Apart from the Start button not saying, Start, that is.


My Start button says "Start" in large black letters. What are you people
doing I ask myself.

Simply choose "Windows Classic" from the Theme selections and, apart
from the menu layout, it looks like W95!


And that's good is it ? ;-0


Depends on your point of view... I had reason to fire up Win95 on a
Pentium 120 some time ago. I was amazed at just how fast and responsive
the GUI was in comparison to XP running on my C2Q 9550!

The desktop has never recovered its performance since some dozy muppet
glued Internet Explorer into it!
