My only computer for a long time was old thinkpad, so I actually ended up skipping over windows XP entirely.

I finally moved on after the first service pack for vista came out (in 2008), which was surprisingly alright in my experience. It ended up being more stable than win2000.

The biggest problem with the older windows is that poorly written drivers (which is most of them) had a tendency to bluescreen the entire system when they fucked up. Newer windows is so much more resistant to that now.
