I prefer the classic start menu, too.

I also wish Windows would have multiple workspaces, like Mac OS X or Linux.

There are 3rd party apps that will give you multiple desktops/workspaces, but it would have been preferable to have it natively included.

Personally I do not see the point of virtual desktops.

Do they allow me to usably run more applications - no, I can have just as many applications on the single desktop and switch between them just as easily.

Do they allow me to compare two windows of data better - No, whilst I would agree that multiple desktops are a useful thing when the increase screen real estate by being on actually different monitors, without this it is just another application switcher.

In Linux and Mac OS X, I tend to use one desktop for "personal" use - browser, instant messenger, media player - and another for "work" use - text editors, terminal/command prompt, etc.

You're right in that having multiple desktops is just a fancy way of switching apps, but it a) reduces clutter on the taskbar and b) makes window organization a little more "tangible."

Windows does technically have "multiple desktops" functionality but it's not exposed by default.

The (free) DESKTOPS utility from sysinternals generates up to four desktops which you can easily switch between using keystrokes or the systray applet. Just make sure you run it in an elevated context ("run as admin").

I can't believe how many people still like those classic menus. Of course I've never been one to stay with the default way MS does things. Since Win95 days I've alphabetized my start menu and removed anything that isn't a program. My 'Programs' menu is just 26 folders A - Z, that way everything is a click away - Programs -> P -> Photoshop :D

The programs A-Z thing is not a half bad idea...

If I had a bunch of apps installed, I might have taken that route myself

Oh I see...funny you should mention the BIOS update as Mickey just showed me a way of making my flash drive into a Command Prompt at boot (to start the BIOS update)

As for the defragmenter...I am glad it changed...I was TOO memorized by the blocks filling in...
