Hot Take Here is what Windows 11 would look like in 2001

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Have you ever wondered what would modern Windows 11 look like had Microsoft released it more than twenty years ago? We have already seen a mod turning Windows 10 into an indistinguishable Windows XP replica, and now here is a similar take on Windows 11 with its controversial Start menu, centered taskbar, dark mode, and more.

The concept published by @tehmondspartan on Twitter brings the beloved Windows XP-era UI elements to Windows 11. The Windows Media Player 6, old-school icons, MSN Explorer, MSN Messenger, the traditional Control Panel, two different buttons for logging off and turning off the computer, the classic profile switcher with a green arrow button, and not the most popular silver variant of Windows XP's Luna theme (which is not that bad compared with the olive green). There is also a dark variant and Windows XPified version of Microsoft Edge.





Unlike the previously mentioned Windows 10 XP mod, "Windows Sun Valley (2001/02") is just a concept to relive good-old memories and mix them with the new thing.
