I skipped XP entirely on account of its cartoonish interface, jumping direct to Vista when programs started dropping Win2K support.
Comment on Windows Vista's startup sound suddenly reappears in Windows 11's beta build, and no, it's not a joke

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):

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
