I prefer the Windows 2000 style myself, at least when it comes to "timelessness".
The issue I have with the XP style is the perspective, it is not consistent. Some icons are front facing, others have perspective, and it changes depending on the icon size.
I mean, I think it is a nice style, and I agree with you when you mention the balance between skeuomorphism and unique digital design. But it may not be boring enough to become timeless.
