Classic Shell: A Start Menu for Windows 8 that Skips the Metro Interface:

I have just downloaded the Classic Shell for the start menu for Windows 8. Having the start menu works for me and makes working with Windows 8 a lot easier. I much prefer it to the Metro interface.

You have been a student for too long.:D

1292274 2012-08-02 23:04:00 Nothing will ever beat Windows 95! I mean, WOW at the cool features, I can watch a low res little video of Weezer, and a Free trial of the latest 3d game Hellbender! or the free low res Hover! And i can even watch at how Cinemania '95 is changing the way we watch movies!

*the following was sarcasm, but i do love windows 95*

Yeah Dessault systems has a deal with MS, and while that deal is current they will never release it on another platform. They wont even support us due to our linux file server

EDIT: We are trying the CP win8 on a pentium 4 and i reckon it is faster than XP, booting also is faster
