I personally think the issue here is more about choice than anything. M/S know thousands of people use classic so it should have been there as a choice with the other choices like aero. For those of us who prefer classic style , it is our choice....hell i dont even have desktop wallpaper half the time. I just want it clean and simple with all the b###sh#t turned off so i have a system that works and does what i tell it to... Not that M/S ever listen but stop trying to panic manouver yourself just becasuse google decide to write an o/s, cheaper editions before release indeed lol and free versions for picture partys, grief M/S get a grip and sit down and get on with the O/s and stop worrying about google, cos no matter what happens people will vote with their feet. Its their Choice!!
