Same. I think the UX changes plus the 32/64 bit issues led it to have a rocky start.

IMO, Vista crawled so Win7 could run. Same with Win 2000 and WinXP.

Did you mean Windows Me? Windows 2000 was rock solid, and almost exactly the same thing as Windows XP.

I meant from a consumer usage and uptake perspective. I was lucky to use Win 2000 as a consumer as my dad was a SWE who got free licenses from work (along with Compaq workstations, ergonomic chairs, and tickets to ATT Park), but apparently Win2000 for consumer usage was much less common than I thought.
