I'd disagree. Not about how good Win2000 was, but Win2000 wasn't a consumer OS.
And Windows 3.1 wasn't really an OS. It was more of a shell on top of MS-DOS.
I still think Windows (and MS Office) got such a stranglehold on the market because it was so pirated in its early days. So many people shared Win3.1 and then found out how easy it was in a GUI environment (no commands to memorize! Very little typing!) that it became the standard.
