Windows 10 will re-introduce the smaller start menu, with more customization options than Windows 7. It will also offer the option to run Metro apps in a window instead of a full screen desktop.

If you dislike Windows 8, then install Classic Shell. You only need the menu, no other components. This application will create a 7-like start menu, and offer the option to disable the Metro interface, and all corner hover actions.

Windows 8.1 will work like Windows 7, with a 1990-era look to it... and some things moved around a bit. The one thing I then still hate with a passion is the lack of drop shadows. Everything is flat.... white, gray, and FLAT. I mean it. It's almost impossible to see which window is which, especially if the screen is not that good (which happens on many office computers, and laptops).

Windows 10 seems to be what Windows 8 should have been, just as Windows 7 what Vista should have been. (Vista wasn't bad per se, but its default configuration made it VERY slow, and there were no drivers available for any hardware for most of the first year...)
