Well, something you have changed or removed must have allowed the Search to take the place of the All apps list on your Start in 2004. This seems to be unique to your configuration, all others including myself have reported that Start remains the same as they had it configured in 1909 after the upgrade. That does make it very difficult to diagnose though
An added factor may be that the RTM version of 2004 as released by MS on 27 May appears to still be configured as an Insider build. This was spotted by CliffS here.

...and subsequently confirmed on my 2004 Home that was updated by clicking the optional 'Download and install now' in Windows Update.
So my advice would be not to try 2004 again until for at least a couple of months, maybe longer - and definitely not until it has been offered to you in Windows Update.
