Eh, that wasn't true in the circles I traveled back in the day. Most of us were on Windows 2000, and the general verdict was, "It's Win2k with better drivers." Which, in fact, it turned out to be.

Of course, Windows 2000 was the last decent OS released by MSoft without Windows Genuine Advantage (paging George Orwell, paging George Orwell), so in a way it was the last great hurrah.
