One of the most frustrating things for me about Windows 8/8.1/10 was the classic theme (Win95/NT style) was no longer a UI theme option without downloading something third party. It really is the thing that killed my interest in Windows after Windows 7. Good things don't need to change. I'm thankful my remaining reason for having a Windows OS available is becoming irrelevant due to progress in running games on Linux.

  Microsoft's legendary backwards compatibility not being extended to support win95's look and feel. That part.

If I recall UXTheme patcher unlocked the themes and let you download classic. This isn't pretty bad and yet annoying.

I, too, always switched on Classic Theme after every Windows install. It was a large part of what drew me to XFCE/xUbuntu in the end. Numix and Adwaita-dark gets close enough to the Classic UI Windows the way I had it configured.
