I thought it was supposed to bring back the option for the classic

Saw my first Win8.1 machine today and it looks the same as Win8

It DID bring it back, however it's not the default setting. If you want
the classic GUI to load every time you start up, just click on Desktop
and get into it. Then right-click on the taskbar and you'll be able to
set it up from within there to boot to the desktop and skip the metro UI
altogether.

Yes, it's now more to my liking . I can deal with it...but all of the
people I know hate it.

Tell them to actually give the OS a try for more than five minutes. Anyone
who has ends up liking it. It's grown on a lot of people in this newsgroup
as well as for me.
