I love the Windows 95 aesthetic. Yeah, it looks old and janky. But you KNOW it works and won't pull some bullshit update on you or harvest your data.

haha zoomers think windows 95 worked

but maybe this is windows 2000 that actually did work pretty well.

It's Windows 2000. The recycle bin is a dead giveaway since Windows 95/98's recycle bin is more angular.

Windows 7 was the last good windows. Windows XP was probably the best, but I guess I like 7's aesthetics a tiny bit more. Under Micro$oft's totalitarian Windows XP regime, I always disabled what I called Fisher Price Mode, which means that I used the Windows 95/98/2000 theme instead of the default theme that made the computer UI look like it was designed for toddlers.
