It was notoriously buggy and didn't offer any reason to upgrade. Everyone stayed on 95, 98, 98se or migrated to Windows 2000. XP offered a compelling reason to upgrade with improved directx support and the rebase onto 2000 tech.
I beta tested 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP and a few other things.
Less compatible than XP for sure, but home software wasn't actively trying to target 2000 as a platform. I ran it from beta until XP's release and found it much more stable than the 9x track.
