I think of this as a homage or appropriation, a gentle upgrade of classic Windows XP aesthetic into a form that merges a few contemporary affordances and new polish. It's a classic way of keeping art and styles fresh and how aesthetics evolve while retaining a clear lineage that respects their roots.
Whilst that's true... Using "faithful" is inviting criticism where it doesn't align - intended or not.

Windows (or anything) is nice when its fast. Most things should work in under 20ms so I don't notice a delay.
20ms is faster than a fly reaction time, it's about the same time which 60HZ monitor takes to refresh the frame, 10 times faster than a typical human's reaction. Everything under 150 ms is pretty much indistinguishably fast to a normal person.

i'll remember that next time someone says anything! thanks dude!
Just noticed: not sure if intentional, but with the CRT effect, I see a sort of moving line every few seconds or so. I don't recall my CRT monitor doing that, haha! But the tiny dots are spot on for me. The better a CRT monitor was, the smaller and less visible the dots were. But they were always easily visible from up close.

"Faster than a humans reaction" time is different from "indistinguishable".

If this were true, then a 10fps movie clip would be indistinguishable from a 24fps or a 60fps one. I have written several years ago about how optimizing my shell prompt from 50ms to 5ms was definitely a noticeable impact on how snappy the shell felt: https://xyrillian.de/thoughts/posts/latency-matters.html

You're wrong. You can clearly see a difference between 20ms reaction time (as instantaneous as it gets because of what you say, 1/60 = 16.6666...), whereas 150 ms is a fast reaction but it definitely is a noticeable lag. I wish your opinion didn't exist because how can we expect to get rid of the lag everywhere if some people even claim it doesn't matter.
