The evolution of the Windows desktop in images, from Windows 3.1 To Windows 7.

@CodingHorror: I can't deal with Chrome themes or Windows 7 themes... at all. Give me plain, simple, clean, and uncluttered. kthxbye

Jeff Atwood tweeted this a few days ago. This triggered me to assemble a list of Windows desktops, from Windows 3.1 to Windows 7.

I also don't think the extra UI stuff in Windows Vista and Windows 7 add extra value. I'm still a big fan of the simple Windows XP UI.

Which one do you like best? Is there to much clutter in the new interfaces?
