The win95/win98/win2k default design is timeless imho, not the bright colored default xp one (in my eyes at least)

P.S. I hate that no modern Linux desktop design has a proper distinction between selected and non selected window. They all only subtly change the text color on top of the window, no clear distinction like "blue is selected, gray is non selected window"

KDE with the default Breeze theme has good distinction between selected and nonselected Windows.

I'd add win3.x/OS2warp. There's something there too. It's super bare, but extremely friendly.
