Call me a luddite but I like the look of W2K (and W95, W98 before it) and have XP in "classic" view. No gimmicks, no slides, no fades, just everything happening as fast as possible when you ask for it. The more I hear about W8 and W10 the more I feel the pull of Linux. The question is: "Which Linux?" I think the answer for me is one that looks and feels as much like W2K as possible. I'm not scared of command line stuff - I did MSDOS back in the 1980s and still use the command prompt on occasion.
I still use Office 2000 and see no reason to move on. They seem to do everyting I need of them. Though DOCX and XLSX files are a nuisance. I've got the add-on that allows Office 2000 to view them. Otherwise it's Libreoffice which feels slow by comparison.
