As I already explained in the first Usability Terms article, consistency goes a long way in ensuring a pleasurable user experience in graphical user interfaces. While some user interfaces appear to be more graphically consistent than others, Windows has always appeared to be worse than most others - probably because it carries with it stuff that dates back to the 16bit era. IStartedSomething agrees with this, and started the Windows UI TaskForce.

I just hope they haven't fixed bug 6 the same way as number 1. It will be more of a pain each time I have to use Windows if they remove the classic skin.
About number 1, I feel sorry for it, they should have kept it somewhere as an Easter egg. Or at least release the source if it still exists.
EDIT: On the other hand, edlin and debug were killed too. The terrorists have won.
