I've never actually tried Classic Shell since my sister's computer is the
only Win7 machine I ever have access to. But if actually works well, then
all it would need for me to seriously consider upgrading from XP to Win7
would be:
1. Fixes for the taskbar changes (ie, the first three bullet points on my
super-whiny rant:
http://www.semitwist.com/articles/article/view/why-i-refuse-to-upgrade-to-win7 )
2. XP-style open/save dialog boxes (which doesn't appear likely:
http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/faq.html#explorer_saveas )
3. Maybe some de-unified back/forward buttons for Windows Explorer. (They
sounded like a great idea when I first read about IE7, but after using IE7
extensively to test my sites I found I really hated it. Heck, they're one of
the reasons I use FF2 instead of FF3.)
4. And maybe some way to rip out the driver-revocation "feature" and the
DRMed-AV-gets-reduced-in-quality-at-the-drop-of-a-hat "feature". (I know
these might not be big issues in practice, but I don't trust anything on
*my* system being completely at the discresion of corporations. Come to
think of it, this is pretty much the same reason I've never trusted HDMI -
one little fart and the whole thing *intentially* craps out. It's like the
broadcast flag, except the FCC never even had the opportunity to say "Umm,
no. Fuck that.")
If I did get Win7 and Classic Shell, I don't think there's a single thing on
Classic Shell's Features page (
http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/features.html ) that I wouldn't use.
