Here's what I can tell you:
1. In spite of what the Linux crowd would tell you, it is based upon a core
that is as stable as Linux.
2. It is designed to be compatible with Windows 9x/ME, and supposedly
succeeded well.
3. It is widely praised by people who reported that they hated 98 and ME.
It does have its flaws, such as you need to call Microsoft to install it the
first time on any new machine, or any heavily rebuilt old machine (only
heavily rebuilt, supposedly). However, it is, as best I can tell (and I
haven't really used it myself) the best thing Microsoft has put on a home
user desktop to-date.
I'd say, "Go for it."
