I don't think there's any perhaps about it - the visual surroundings of our childhood and youth will always have particular associations.

FWIW, I've been stoically making every desktop I've used look as close as I can make it to the Windows 2000 desktop I had at university for years now.

I know what you mean: Windows 2000 ”looks like home” to me too.

I installed W10 recently after years of not using Windows to see how things are. Discovered there's no classic theme and promptly uninstalled it.
