I guess everybody is entitled to an opinion. I find some of the
"gadgets" very useful.

Yes.
Just hope ability to disable "niceties" will always remain for power users.
Most important is Windows Classic ability to set each & tiny bit of
appearance's COLORS.
You don't get that in WinXP theme.
You don't get that in WinVista incl it;s Aero.
Only when in Classic I can set colors as desired.

But Classic means it can die or deemed to be osbolete in the new edition of
Windows.
I just hope it won't happen.
I wish I could post a screenshot of my laptop, it's so neat.
It's Gothic & SImple.
