cant stant the classic start menu. on xp prefer its new style, with small icons and icons only on the right.
this new one looks pretty good if you can make your own menus and stuff right there on the start menu instead of having to goto programs first. bit more like linux which are the menus i prefer.
The folders tilted on their side seriosuly bugs me. All your precious documents and such are just begging to fall out. Considering visually you can make it look like that with XP using some style program I'll wait too see the actual features before passing judgement. I thought it was gonna be drastically different but looks more the same.
