XP theme. I didn't upgrade from 95 to keep the same grey taskbar. Plus, the XP start menu looks terrible in the classic theme, and I refuse to use the useless classic start menu :p

Assuming that win2k ui = win98 ui = classic ui, then win2k ui (if not, oh well - can't take my vote back :p) The winXP ui looks like it's made for children, imo.

i don't get why people don't use the default of new OS's , if you want to be so "retro" , why don't you keep using DOS or windows 3.1 ? :roll:

Me too. This gives me a nicely modern appearance without the annoying weirdness in the Start menu and Control Panel.
