I have had Vista Business Edition running for about a week now. I
like Aero interface, but wish to use the XP style Start menu, as the
aero type start menu is "kind of" clumsy to navigate. Are there any
plans to allow this as an option in the future?

If you right-click and select Properties on the Vista button, you can
get into the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties.
Once there, you can select the "Classic Start Menu"
 
Hi Lester,

As Steve mentions, you can switch to the classic menu. There are no plans to
alter the start menu to the XP style.

In addition to what others have posted. Try using the search feature to
launch applications instead. 8-)

Agreed. I went to a Vista launch where they showed how easy the basic
searches can work. MS Should make a video of these presentations for
everyone to see. The days of pointing to a webpage of text and images should
be over waning: where are all the video clips showing how to do things? I
bet they would sell a lot more if people saw these presentations.
