Nostalgia is really powerful sometimes. I also don't get why people go to such lengths to make it look like Windows, at least modern Windows that is, I get the appeal of older Windows to a certain degree. You can do so much in terms of customization on Linux that it feels wrong to want to settle for so little with just copying Windows.
Ikr, especially because I used to spend to much of my time in Windows trying to customise it to be usable... Default KDE is preferable imo.
