Win95 and Win2k where in my opinion the high water mark of Windows UI, everything since has mostly been different or worse.

Though with touchscreens I can see why that pattern would have dated badly.

That said, 16 year old me would have zero issues with using Cinnamon how I have it setup 22 years later.

Well after he stopped pointing at the screen in amazement and trying to get his head around a laptop with 4x2.8GHz cores and 8 threads.

Hell he’d even recognise a thinkpad in 2018 mostly because 16yo me really wanted one.



Win 2k really was sharp. Xp eventually was able to get close but by then it was replaced by Vista, and I switched to Mac.
