    I skipped XP entirely on account of its cartoonish interface, jumping direct to Vista when programs started dropping Win2K support.

      You skipped, arguably, the best version of windows. I stayed on 98se as long as I could, until the custom black themes came out. They made it much less cartoony.

      Here’s one I used (screenshot from the interwebs):

        The black themes went so hard. I miss XP

        Even without that, there was still full support for classic 95-style themes, even if they were a bit of a pfaff to put together.

          Indeed! And I used those a few times on friends’ computers and told them they I “upgraded” them back to 95. It was so funny
