    You're probably talking about Classic Shell: http://www.classicshell.net/
    I used it on my Windows 8.1 laptop, though not on my Windows 10 Laptop because Windows 10 UI is very similar to Windows 7 UI.

    Windows 7 was last updated 5 years ago
    Windows 8.1 was last updated 2 years ago
    Windows 10 was last updated 6 days ago
     
    Windows 7 Mainstream Support ended 2 years ago
    Windows 8.1 Mainstream Support will end in 1 year
    Windows 10 Mainstream Support will end in 5+ years
     
    Windows 7 Extended Support will end in 3 years
    Windows 8.1 Extended Support will end in 6 years
    Windows 10 Extended Support will end in 10+ years
     
    Windows 10 is also (apparently) the last Windows, and will be upgraded in incremental upgrades.
    Windows 10 is the future of Windows.

    That's a fair point, though I don't want to be running XP, I need the features in Windows 9.

    It's unlikely but not impossible.
     
    If gtx1080 ti uses the same chip used on gtx1080, just better binned (with bigger potential for overclocking) then the video card in theory should only support what the current video cards with this chip support. Changing the internals of a chip to support a new version of something would be very expensive (basically hundreds of thousands of dollars to redesign that section of the chip and to manufacture a  limited number of chips for testing the changes which would take a few months and then a month or so for testing and then another few months to actually start manufacturing the new revision of the chip.
     
    However, I said "not impossible" because technically the pci-e v4.0 is technically similar to pci-e v3.0 , the way the bits are packaged in data packets and sent through the wires on the motherboard is the same, just the speed is much higher, besides some changes that would make it easier for devices to reduce power consumed by the section of the chip making pci-e v4.0 possible.
     
    Basically, it's like the differences between DDR3 running at 1866 Mhz and DDR3 running at 2600-2933 Mhz.  If the section in the chip that handles pci-express was over-engineered with very good transistors and fine tuned stuff inside, it may be possible for nVIdia to just upload a new version of the microcode inside the chip (think of it as a new bios for the video card) which would make the chip say it supports pci-e v4.0 and achieve speeds higher than what's possible on v3.0

    Though this discussion has evolved to more than that, it has moved into the realm of ethics and policing. It is no longer about speculation.
