:up:I put classic shell on my parents new Win8 computer just so they could actually use it. It's a good quality light weight app that gets the job done. They were ready to spend the money for a windows 7 downgrade before I installed it.:up:

You only ever see the start screen for maybe 1% of your computer usage, I'd put that up there pretty high at that.
First off, I just read your downgrade doc from Microsoft. They would not have qualified under those guidelines even if we knew about them. I spent exactly half of one day on windows 8 and about put a bullet through my head. I had a hard time navigating it and every time I tried to do something, it threw up a screen full of tiles. Classic shell brought back the familiar look and feel and made the system bearable. Younger people may not have issues with learning new interfaces or adapting to new technologies, but some of us old farts don't like change and don't feel like we should have to.

Does classic shell start menu have anything running in the background?
Linear Mode
