Since the day the developer preview has been released there have been continous discussion all over the web .
One thing everyone seem to agree is that they should have a choice between the classical windows 7 like start menu and desktop vs the metro ui as most people agree that metro UI is mainly for the touch related devices - be it the slate / smartphone
/ laptop with touch or your desktop lcd with touch enabled .
For those like me who do not have any touch interface it seems bothering to use desktop and very difficult sometimes without having superfast access to contro panel / command line and so many other quickies that start menu provides .
the solution till now: -
to resolve this situation many registery hacks and tweaking software have propped in the last 2 days which disable some features of the metro ui to get the old start menu .
thats not really not done . if u want to stick to the old one be with windows 7 , what is the need for metro.
anyways here is how u can have the best of both worldsclassic windows start menu and the metro ui without any hacks or registery tweaks or changing system files
Here is a nifty freeware i stumbled across :
http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/
download and install it and have fun with both world of windows th emetro and the classical
hope you like it

After installing it u get options as in the picture above
So like the options i have set
if i normally click on the start menu it gives me classical start menu and i can use the desktop as i want like in windows 7
if i want the metro ui i press shit and win key
thats all
