I always preferred Windows 95's "flat design", even if it did have occasional bevels.


My memory (admittedly, ropey) of Windows 95 is that it was very, very 'unflat' - e.g. the start menu alone was a hefty, three-dimensional button.


Seriously. It's like scaling Mt. Everest to get to the program you want to launch: http://www.guidebookgallery.org/pics/gui/desktop/full/win95....


Windows 7 is worse. It is like find what you are looking for on Mt. Everest while looking through a tiny 6 inch by 3 inch view port.
