Amen to this. I am still running XP on the Windows box that I have, so can't speak to the Vista or 7 experiences; but I know that the first thing I did when I upgraded from 95 to 98, and then from 98 to XP, was to hunt for a way to disable as much of the eye candy as possible and just get a familiar start menu.
