The gaudy colors and fancy effects was Windows 7, IMO.
I really enjoy Windows 7 though. It's fast, very little bloat, and modern enough that pretty much any Windows software works on it. Also, something about the Aero theme feels warm and cheerful to me. I can't replicate the feeling on Linux or Windows 10, and it saddens me.
