I’m one of those people. I ran XP SP3 straight through the rise and fall of Vista, and into the first few years of Win 7. I did the same thing with Win 98 and skipped ME/2000. The driver issues were insane with those releases. Microsoft seemed to have an “every other” rule with OS release quality.
Driver issues were mostly the fault of the manufacturers, not Microsoft. But even then, it would be a pretty terrible experience regardless.
That’s true, although I recall it being a problem with their development toolkit. The drivers were released, but didn’t work as expected.
Oh well.
At least they fixed it. But once they fixed it, nobody cared anymore.
They lasted one year each before XP was released. Same with Vista’s two year run. Didn’t even have a chance to standardize before being replaced.
