It's funny you guys point out the Classic Start Menu missing (I haven't even noticed)... because up until sometime last year I always used it. But at some point, I wanted to keep my desktop completely free of icons, and started using a combination of the newer Start Menu, the (now older) quicklaunch, and the option to hide desktop icons. Now, when I sit down at a computer and it still uses the classic, I'm fumbling around trying to remember how I used to do things. \:\)
