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.
