I try not to let my nostalgia get the better of me, but god damn I really miss when everything looked like this.
Maybe I'm older than you, but I preferred Windows XP style, it was better without the confusing ribbon bar.
Loved XP and loved Windows 7. Haven't like a single Windows OS since.
I grew up with XP as well, and while I'm still nostalgic for it, it just feels kinda flat compared to the vista/7 aero theme. Not really boring, but not as interesting as aero imo. Still a vibe though.

Aero looks, better menus (I refuse to believe nested drop downs are peak layout, but ribbon stuff looks pretty, at the cost of useful organization)
And finally, make it look good in dark mode. We aren't a print-first culture anymore, and I prefer my retinas intact
