I think you're also overlooking that the driver model changed for Vista, so tons of hardware listed as supporting Vista was just extremely unstable at release until hardware vendors figured out the new driver model
If its drivers, then XP was really bad. It was so bad it didn't even support HD's bigger than 128GB at release despite Win2k supporting the larger drives.
