Doesn't MATE or other FOSS DE try to emulate an XP-like feel but a bit more modernized?


There are definitely options there. IceWM for example is very much like old windows, and is blazingly fast.


From the mainstream stuff, XFCE might be close after some configuration (especially if you install some of the more Windows-like themes) but MATE/GNOME2 isn't really that XP-like. Trinity (KDE 3.x fork) would be closer though.

As mentioned in another reply IceWM would also be very close - at least compared to classic Windows - but that only gives you the taskbar and window themes.
