Because it wasn't strongly backwards-compatible with previous versions of Windows and the way that drivers worked was completely different, so until third-party hardware and software manufacturers updated their products it was a buggy pile of crap. After they had updated their products, it had earned such a terrible reputation that Microsoft had to drop functionality from Win7 and bring the release date forward, just to convince people to upgrade.
