Windows 8 classic look

Does anybody use one of the programs to give windows 8 the classic windows shell? There are a few out there. I just need a recommendation on which one to use.

I have bought my dad a laptop for Xmas and know he will hate the windows 8 way of doing things.

I'm using one called Classic Shell.

There's a few others mentioned here

I use Classic Shell on Win7 Ultimate and it's great, loads of options for customising Start Menu and Explorer, very easy to use too.

Why buy a laptop with Windows 8 anyway, surely you should have gone for one with 7
