I'm not sure I agree or that many care so much. In just the last few
weeks I have had one 80 year old and one 30 year old both say they
wanted the Windows XP interface back over Windows 7/Vista repectively.
Which bit exactly do you think looks like win 98? xfce4-panel;
gnome-panel runs in xfce.
It should take very little to improve the look of xfce and with very
little memory usage increase.
