An old OS\2 desktop from early 90s, yet more advanced with is OO technology, then any thing windoze has to offer in 2008. Just hide your windoze icons.

Here's the funny thing. I actually prefer many aspects to the OS/2 2.x GUI control layout. I miss the separated borders, and loved the clean look of the buttons. I've actually replicated the buttons for Styler/2 (the closest they had werent good enough for me)... and really enjoyed Nice OS/2 Enhancer's ability to draw the frame borders the same as v2.x's.

To me, that look always seemed cleaner and more powerful. It's funny - the differences in personal preferences.
