I do still like the 95/98/XP paradigm best in terms of, start button, non-grouped buttons for the different windows, and some quick launch icons. luckily because I run linux I can have my pick of the litter, cinnamon, MATE, even KDE with some heavy configuring will do it. I wonder what the author didn't like about linux, seems like it's perfect for someone who's stuck in the past like me, if it's not a software compat problem (which from the sound of the article it isn't)

Exactly! I have run this setup forever; for years and years in Xfce, these days in KDE. Recently I found a couple of screenshots, 1996 and 97, from my Windows days. I was surprised - and maybe slightly concerned - to see how precisely they matched my current layout, right down to ridiculous details. Way back then, I needed a third party utility tweak the clock in the lower right corner to my liking. These days the tweaking is integral, but damn it, the clock looks the same.
