Windows Whistler Beta circa 2000. Had the simplicity of W2K with a little flair and a new start button menu. Way better than all the noise you see today.

- pndy 8y agoThere were Visual Styles mimicking Whistler theme from betas dubbed as "Watercolor" [1], [2] [1]: https://i.imgur.com/gpJbTLl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/gpJbTLl.jpg [2]: https://i.imgur.com/lpKrYe0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/lpKrYe0.jpg Majority of powerusers despised default Luna and often used Classic theme instead; Watercolor had a potential of being Classic v2 with its 9x simplicity and modern (as for those days) touch, sadly it wasn't included by default.
