Features removed from Win7 - do we miss them?

ClearType cannot be turned off entirely in order for the user interface font

Classic Start menu

The reason for me not to install Windows 7.
That's it, basically...
Curt:
I have always been a sucker for add-ons. This list certainly gives me hope for the future for applications that will extend the usability of Windows 7...
Here & now I am sadly surprised that my Windows Media Player not will be allowed to minimize to taskbar integration. This probably means I will "need" to also get myself a widescreen monitor?
The Classic Start Menu can most likely be replaced by third party applications.
f0dder:
Only thing I've missed in Win7 compared to XP is floating appbands - I used to use them for a bunch of different shortcuts... and when I moved to Win7, mouser's LaunchBarCommander didn't work properly (dunno if he's bugfixed it yet :)). Other than that, pretty much everything else has been a step in the right direction for me.
Josh:
Am I the only one that is personally glad they removed the "Classic" start menu from Windows?

Nope :)
Even though I rarely use the start menu because of FARR, the Vista style start menu is a pretty big improvement over the classic. Of course MS could've kept the classic menu for the people who refuse to change, but whatever.
