I would strongly advise against going back to the classic view.

Unless there's a solid reason why you can't use the new UI bite the bullet
and climb that learning curve.  It offers allot more Accessibility,
Usability, and Functionality.  Also it'll prepare you fro Microsofts
offering later on downt he line in-terms of their next OS.

Have a look at http://www.blindtraining.com/ KathyAnne has excellent JFW and
Window Eyes Windows 7 tutorials.  They will take you through and show you
just how Windows 7 new's UI is a winner.
