Is there a Win9x interface for Linu

I know 99% of the Linux users will be horrified by this and will probably tell me how inferior it would be, and if I want this, just use Win9x, but here it goes:
I've seen the Calmira interface, a program/shell for Windows 3.1 that makes it look nearly identical to Windows 95/98. (www.calmira.org, version 4.0 due out soon) I was wondering, is there anything like that for Linux? Something to use instead of KDE or GNOME, hopefully with stuff like a Windows Explorer type file manager and more. Is there anything like this? (It would also be kind of cool to have a Windows 3.1 style interface, but I highly doubt that would be available)

I think there is a win9x theme for KDE. I would have to boot into mandrake to be sure. I do know there was, in an older version of mandrake, but I am not sure about mandrake 8.2.
