XP was just 2K with a silly UI; it was a huge regression.

It took, what, 3 clicks to disable Luna and get back to slate grey?

And one more click to disable the XP-style control panel.

OTOH app compatibility in XP was quite a bit better, esp. with games. IIRC that's when Windows first started to experiment with features like virtualized disk and registry writes?
