    I like how this brings back the familiar Windows 7 Start menu while still adding modern touches such as rounded corners and improved icons. The classic taskbar and restored system shortcuts sound especially useful for making newer Windows versions feel more comfortable. The focus on lower resource usage is a nice bonus too.
