I never really was totally computer smart till about 3-4 years ago, but was there as big as a problem back in the day when 98/2000 was out, then XP came, were a lot of people hesitant to upgrade like it was recently with XP to Vista?

I remember jumping on XP (with less issues than the Vista launch) because I was building a new rig.

And I really hated 2000, it was way buggy for me.

I remember grabbing my Pentium 4 2.66ghz Northwood, 9800Xt, & 2x512mb DDR 266 dual channel RAM in 2003 when Xp launched. I was a happy camper for quiet some time.

Most people are very hesitant to upgrade because they don't like change. Personally, I didn't upgrade to Windows XP until about 3 months after SP2 was released. I liked Windows 98 SE and used it on my old machine. When I built my Athlon XP rig, I finally installed Windows XP w/ SP1 but I never upgraded to SP2 until a program I wanted to run required SP2 to be installed. I did upgrade to Vista without hesitation though. I think with the amount of exposure that Windows 7 is getting, a lot of XP users will upgrade to it as well.

I jumped to Vista with my build. Never had a single problem except for finding a wireless adapter at the start. That was the companies fault, not MS's.

I usually don't buy a new OS unless I get a new computer.

Well lets see WindowsXP came out in late 2001 not 2003. I didn't make the switch till 2005 when a game I wanted to play didnt support Windows 98. I tried XP out in 2001 and got a bad taste in my mouth. Daily updates, constantly crashing, and always infected with something. Anyone that used Windows XP Gold knows what im talking about. So yea I was on Windows 98 from 1999-2005.

Yeah, around the time when XP first came out there were quite a few sceptics just as their were for Vista, but I still think XP took off quicker than Vista. (Windows ME and 2000 were crap IMO)

Windows 2000 wasnt crap SP3 fixed most of the issues just like SP1 made XP barable

I quickly jumped on Windows XP ... I was going to quickly jump on Vista but people said it was too buggy so I didn't until a while afterward ... and I jumped to Windows 7 once the RC became available and I had time to install.

I like change as long as the change doesn't suck.

Oh yeah and I never upgraded to Vista SP1 until Adobe CS4 required me to do so to install it. I did upgrade to Vista SP2 a few weeks after it's release but only because I was in the middle of a format re-install and said what the hell.
