An update for the "Windows Classic" users.

[notsograymatter]

Not sure if the Windows team has even considered this, but a few of Win7 users still use the classic look. It might be because it's easier to manage or they don't like Aero, or they want a graphics boost on a lower spec system. Either way it'd be nice if they added another "classic" option.

In my dream world it'd be a mix of Aero and Classic. I don't use the Aero themes because most of them just aren't my style. I know classic improves visual performance a tiny amount, but I've got a decent enough system that I don't need to rely on that. I'd like for windows to develop a middle ground that was a bit more minimalistic than Aero, but included some of the useful functions like Peek and Preview. I know most of this can be done through tinkering in Windows 7 atm, but it'd be nice if they gave classic users a second option. Something that's been updated with all of the new enhancements but doesn't look like it was developed in a candy store or based off a piece of cardboard.

It takes time - and time is money - to program things. MS is not going to spend the money to appeal to a relatively few when you consider the overall market. What's left of my generation is a not a force in the computer market place.

It is not just your generation that likes the older look.
But your point is still valid.

I just think that since they already had it in there, there is not real reason to take it out.
