Tanis:
I don't mind it, as long as I have Start8.

i got 8.1 for free, enterprise to boot, lasts only 90days though but refreshable.

Does Classic Shell restore Aero? I explored the Classic Shell site but couldn't find any info on that. I really like Aero, to the point where if I can't get it on 8 when I get a new laptop, I'll wipe it for 7, even if 8 has all kinds of optimizations and improvements and such.

You'll have to use Aero Glass for Windows 8.
You can also try some of the shell themes floating around for Windows 8.
I didn't know Microsoft removed Aero until recently. Apparently they did it to reduce power consumption and chose not to include it for desktops. I guess it is to be expected since Wintel is pushing mobile computing to the exclusion of everything else.
Freedom Kira:
I still have yet to see a skin mimic Aero perfectly, or at least reasonably well. If the screenshot in the link you provided is representative of how it looks, it doesn't do a very good job. All it really does is make the title bar translucent and add some glow to the text in it. Aero in 7 is a bit more involved than that.
