Although this kind of changes have never been optional, until this moment Facebook did not inform about any established date for the Timeline upgrade to be mandatory for all users.

there is no way to remove it - everyone is being converted to the timeline - it's the new look for facebook, not an optional update
this guide will help you learn how to use it

it will take you a few days to get used to the changes, but overall, it's much better than the old profile
you can trick out your browser settings to IE7 to see your old page ONLY ON YOUR COMPUTER - EVERYONE else will still be seeing your timeline and all the stuff you dont want them seeing, so dont think for a minute it will protect your privacy, and in fact, it will anger anyone else who uses the same computer
IE7 (and just tricking your browser into thinking that it's IE7) has MAJOR SECURITY FLAWS which will leave your entire computer vunerable to attacks from phishers, spammers, and hackers, and people trying to steal your banking information and your identity
is facebook that important to you, to risk it?
