I was doing tech support for a WISP in the '00s and my annoyance with having to deal with customers on Windows XP before "Wireless Zero Config" was added in Service Pack 2 almost makes me hate it more than Windows ME. Almost. Big ridden 💩, but it got me using Linux, so I guess that's one hood thing about it.
I've never used Vista, 8, or 8.1.
Oh, also the Fischer-Price default theme for XP was bad.

@ryanc Prior to XP and Luna, the late Whistler betas had a theme called Watercolor that was honestly just gorgeous. It's disappearance is the most egregious thing.
This is what they took from us. I mean look at it. It's so clean and tasteful, with just the right amount of playful and whimsy. An ideal evolution from Windows 2000. Also came in green IIRC, but I may be conflating with the fan remake that came out years later.

@ryanc having had to support Windows in all its flavours since 3.1 (I briefly had to use, but not support 2) I have to say Windows 8. ME was bad, but 8 was a horror show.
