Classic Shell
I'm a long-time WinXPpro user. I'm wondering how familiar will Win8
with Classic Shell http://www.classicshell.net/ look to me? Will there still be a long learning curve? -- Web based forums are like subscribing to 10 different newspapers and having to visit 10 different news stands to pickup each one. Email list-server groups and USENET are like having all of those newspapers delivered to your door every morning. |

You will find it very similar, but not exactly the same. How long it will take to get accustomed to it depends on you. And by the way, as far as I'm concerned Start 8 (not free, but very inexpensive--only $4.99) will make the Windows 8 interface even more like the older interfaces, and that's what I recommend. -- Ken Blake |

Classic Shell vs Start 8
After using Classic Shell, I will agree that Start 8 is much better.....especially for free if you can find it I have "Classic Shell" installed --- will something like Revo Uninstaller or Absolute Uninstaller get me back to Win 8 so that I can try Start 8?? |

That question has been asked before, without much of an answer. I think it simply comes down to personal preference, which is why you should try both and see which you like better. |
