I looked at some articles with pictures of the Windows 2000 UI recently
and nothing has changed my impression that it is still one hell of a lot
more usable that the default Windows 10 UI.

For example, which arrogant cretin thought it was OK to _force_ 1px
borders on users in Windows 10 ? Those are not borders, those are piss-takes.

Also, looking at those Windows 2000 UI pictures reminded me of how much
more easier it was to navigate instead of those horrible flat low-contrast
UI elements in Windows 10 where it's sometimes hard to even tell _what_
is clickable.

John is absolutely right about Windows 2000.

Simon.
