Is that Windows 7 or Windows 10? I left a clue for you.<\/p>\n<p>OK 40% of you said it&#8217;s Windows 7, 57% of you said it&#8217;s Windows 10, and 3% of you said it&#8217;s Budweiser. The 40% and the 3% are wrong, I tells ya. The 57% &#8212; who guessed Windows 10 &#8212; are correct. It&#8217;s Windows 10 but it sure looks like Windows 7, doesn&#8217;t it? Yes, it does. The hint I left for you was the Windows Store icon in the taskbar &#8211; it is not in Windows 7. I left more clues too &#8211; for instance &#8220;Settings&#8221; in the start menu&#8230; old Hawkeye EB is really good at Where&#8217;s Waldo.<\/p>\n<p>I want to be honest.

And EB, who&#8217;s a big fan of Classic Shell would be furious. But honestly? Classic Shell doesn&#8217;t really do all of the things that StartIsBack does, and its start menu does not look nearly as much like the real Windows 7 start menu. Also Classic Shell does not allow the degree of color customization or the resizing of Taskbar icons&#8230;nonetheless it&#8217;s free and it does approximate the Windows 7 start menu. If you don&#8217;t want to spend $2.99 &#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.classicshell.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Classic Shell would be a good free choice.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Reminder..we are not being paid to promote StartIsBack&#8230; we really like it and think some of you will like it to.
