Actually, I have my Win7 7100 RC start menu set to the default - But I rarely use it. I have most of my common apps listed as desktop shortcuts. As for bringing up notepad, calc, file explorer, and similar, it's faster to press Win+R, type "calc", and press [Enter].

I learned Windows way back in the early '90's on a 286 with 640K of RAM and no mouse, version 3.0. Since it had no mouse, I had to learn all the keyboard shortcuts. To this day, I'm still more comfortable doing things by the associated shortcut keys. Example, [Alt-Space Bar] [X] = Maximize. Win+D = Show desktop. Win+L = Lock system. Win+R "devmgmt.msc" [Enter] = Device manager. I think I know all of them except for the new ones Win7 added.
