The golden rule of the internet. Anything hated at release has a high chance of becoming beloved once those who grew up with become adults.
Truly bad stuff at release simply ends up forgotten.

XP actually wasn't great on release, though I don't know anybody who clung to ME, considering it was itself a huge dumpster fire. It wasn't until SP1 hit that XP got really good.
Most of us were just riding out 98SE as long as we could until MS got their shit together. Some people had 2000, but it wasn't really a consumer-class OS; it was meant more for the enterprise.
