If you are running on the Mac OS, I would suggest the dedicated forum: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/AutoCAD-for-Mac/bd-p/520. In short, there is no Classic workspace as there is no "classic" AutoCAD for Mac. Its effectively a new product in a different OS.
Welcome to the Autodesk Forums!
Yes, different OS - different user interface.
But in fact it shouldn't take a lot of time to learn new workflow with AotoCAD for Mac. The commands are the same (excluding those which unavailable on Mac platform). Just start to use it and within one week you will be comfortable with new interface.

its a fact that auto cad is better/easier to work with and more comprehensive on the windows platform. Thats what it was developed for. It has nothing to do with how MAC looks. Theres like 300 commands that arent available on a MAC and it can be a pain to use. Especially if you learned on Windows. I think it stinks that classic view isn't available on newer versions and they should really do something about that. I hate to say it but you kind of sound like a jerk saying that...

Hi, You have posted that you changed AutoCAD workspace to Classic in mac. Please explain how did you do it. It will be much of a help.
Thank you.
Show us Boss, screenshots: you'd be the first one on the planet to ever do what Autodesk never designed into the MAC variant.
And to clear up any confusion, this is what 99% of the planet considers "Classic" AutoCAD
