Heh, no. Everybody knows the UI is heaps different. Not to mention the features that were simplified or removed.

For a similarily vintage web surfing experience that's modern you could install Seamonkey with Seazilla to imitate Netscape Communicator 4 a bit more
I already knew that.

Even the classic theme for Windows 7 is different from 95.

Aero peek is awesome and a genuine usability improvement. I'm a huge fan of the two-pane start menu too - at least once you clean out all the default junk and start pinning your own items to it - been so since XP. It's great for servers too - just pin all your management and monitoring tools there, and you've instant access to the stuff you need. Crap like "show window contents while dragging" can rightfully go die in a fire.

That's because "Classic" just has a Windows 2000 scheme. I had to export a Plus! theme of the original colors from W95 and rework the theme file itself to work on 7.
