I have to agree with you guys about the ways it looks, but if it was 2006. This interface is very retro alike. I have to strongly disagree about using this/any other non minimalistic interface over today's beautiful implementations (expect Windows 10). It is really good, but if it was 2006.
One thing is clean, but I'm tired of the completely flat color stuff we have nowadays (at least make widgets look like they have some volume, jeez (・~・)). Also I bet that the main reason those old pics feel outdated is because of the VGA-like pixelart font and missing a wallpaper (I'm still surprised just how much a wallpaper can change the perception of an OS).

"expect Windows 10", as it's said - mistyping by Freud. hehe. because doesn't matter if you hate to admit that or not, ALL modern UIs are inspired by Windows. 7 like ot 10 like. It's funny to notice how everybody and his dog is mimicking that look and feel, and still strongly disagrees it is taken from there. that stupid hatred.
With Windows 8 they were trying to gimmick iOS (where flat was the brand new thing at the moment). And a bunch of UIs are inspired by Macs =P
