I think perhaps what the original poster was reffering to was the
generally poor quality of 3rd-party drivers when Windows 2000 came
out.  The situation was pretty abysmal as simply installing the driver
for a new piece of hardware could take an otherwise stable machine and
make it very flaky.  Fortunately, those problems had already been
fixed (for the most part) well before even XP was released.

Oh, and a few quick words on nomenclature.  A lot of people seem to
use the term "NT" to refer to versions other than 2K and XP.  It
should be noted that Windows 2000 is actually NT 5.0 and Windows XP is
actually NT 5.1
