Hell , if MS says the classic menu and what not is done, and us users should just deal with it and "move on", well yeah, i'll move on to .... Linux.
If i absolutely must learn a new desktop enviroment, there's no reason why i should stick to MS is there?

Absolutely lame statements. The desktop environment is the same. The start menu is simliar, functioning the same as XP's much more effiiciently. If you haven't used 7, don't knock on it.
What hardware are you using that doesn't have Vista/7 drivers??
As for IE8, you can use the compatibility button to use the IE7 "non-standard" way of rendering pages. Usually, this will fix most sites that don't follow the IE8 rules (read: mostly web standards). The reason Opera hates some sites is not cuz Opera is bad at rendering. It's too GOOD. Much of the web doesn't conform to web standards, and the browsers render them incorrectly. That's what's happening when you try IE8 on some sites that used to work on IE7. IE8 adheres to the standards much better than IE7 or 6 did.
