W2k was awesome. Great stability. However, the legacy from Windows NT meant that applications had no direct access to hardware which games of that time required.
That was a showstopper for most users outside the enterprise world.
I am not gonna disagree with you, but I remember playing half-life on it with no problems. Of course, you couldn't play DOS games on it, if that's what you mean.
