Win2k is pretty good, fixing the one big problem with Win9x, which was its dreary darkish gray base color.
Personally I’m a bit more fond of the Platinum theme from Mac OS 8 up through 9.x, though. Similar color scheme and principles, but it uses rounded corners and soft shading in a few places Win9x/2k doesn’t which makes it feel a bit more warm and accommodating without negatively impacting usability.
