Why make it look like the most commonly used OS?
Keeping shoulder surfers from interrupting you with questions can be enough of a reason by itself.

Because a few people asked how to make MX look more like Windows 7, and because MX Linux newbies who are coming from a Win7 background may find this lookalike theming more comfortable to them while they're learning their way around in Xfce and MX vs. using something that's totally different-looking, even though it's really still a standard MX-19 installation under the hood: Xfce4/Xfwm, MX Tools, the standard preinstalled applications and menu structure, etc.
Please read the Forum Rules, How To Ask For Help, How to Break Your System and Don't Break Debian. Always include your full Quick System Info (QSI) with each and every new help request.
