Perhaps the biggest bonus of Classic Shell for me is in the restoration of the very good Win7-type Start Menu and the instant search of my indexed documents and OneNote files when anything is typed into the Search box. It seems to be very stable too - which is a mandatory requirement for an OS interface (in my book, at any rate). However, pretty much all that I disliked is swept away by Classic Shell. Those aspects of the OS are backward steps - but the OS otherwise seems very good. Most of the things that I dislike (and that's putting it mildly) about Win8 are related to poor ergonomics and the superfluous Metro eye-candy and and its kludgy functionality in the UI. As a result of their comments, a couple of days ago I went ahead and installed it for a trial. Many thanks to the people in this discussion thread who referred to Classic Shell.
