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.
The golden rule of the internet. Anything hated at release has a high chance of becoming beloved once those who grew up with become adults.
Truly bad stuff at release simply ends up forgotten.
Nostalgia is way more powerful than rage
