Actually Classic Shell is far superior and has more customization than the Windows 10 “menu”: http://www.classicshell.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2399

Does Winkey + x work with Classic Shell installed?

Win+X works with Classic Shell installed. Also you can Shift+right click on Start button with Classic Shell installed to show Win+X menu. And you can configure which menu opens upon right click from Controls setting.

Of course, Win+X menu was introduced with Windows 8 so on Windows 7, it won’t show. It’ll open the Mobility Center.

The Classic Explorer toolbar does NOT work with Internet Explorer 11. I assume this will be addressed in due course.

Classic Shell has a toolbar only for Windows File Explorer, not for Internet Explorer. All its features work as expected on Windows 8.1, the toolbar loads fine in File Explorer and the status bar/title bar additions work for Internet Explorer.

The public beta of Classic Shell 4.0 is now available (as 3.9.0): http://www.classicshell.net The stable release will be 4.0

It was mentioned on the B8 blog that folder scrolling bug was fixed for Windows 8.

Here’s a Classic Shell skin: http://www.askvg.com/download-classic-shell-skin-to-get-windows-7-look-like-start-menu-and-start-button-in-windows-8/ to make it look like the Windows 7 Start Menu.
