MODERATORS
To those who don't remember: Windows XP was met with mixed reception due to it's ugly UI, high system requirements, and instability on release. Those who found out how to get around WinME's driver issues stayed for even longer than those who were previously on Win95/98. Kids of that era really liked it though, because it looked playful, and/or it was their first introduction to computing.
That's interesting, because here in brazil, people loved windows xp on release. The general sentiment was that windows 95, 98 and me were too buggy and unstable, while xp gave a better experience.
Thats an interesting wrinkle I hadn't considered. Was the release in Brazil done at the same time? Maybe XP benefitted from additional patches before the Brazilian release.
It makes sense, because back then, things would get released in here much later than the global releases. I found no information on the local release date of windows xp, to know for sure, though.
