If you include 98SE you should also include 8.1. Or include neither. But then it wouldn't make sense anymore.

XP SP2 is what everyone remembers, too. It wasn’t very good at release and a lot of people stayed on 2000.

I've honestly haven't had any problems with XP SP1. I've had it on a couple computers back in the day. I remember that the upgrade to SP2 wouldn't always go well. Sometimes requiring a reinstall.

Indeed. Plug and play didn't (mostly) get figured out until SP2. Drivers were still quite a nightmare at that time.

2000 though was a server version. Not technically consumer.
