I know, I was there too...But this is a different time with different products and a different market.
Windows is now the same for home and business users, in them days home users had 95 / 98 and business users had NT4.
The transition from NT - 2000 wasn't that hard for businesses because they were both good products and 2000 was designed to cater fully for an NT environment.
The transition from 95 / 98 to ME for home users was a nightmare because ME was shit.
So, for that reason I don't think your ME - 2000 comment stands up completely. I have no doubt in 5 years we'll all be using Windows 7 but until I see a real reason to do so, I won't be upgrading anything soon.
