Did it stop anything? I can't recall anything of note.

It stopped the lucrative business of Y2K proofing software. Most of the bugs that came up were harmless.

"The only potentially worrying events occurred at nuclear power plants in Japan. Radiation-monitoring equipment in Ishikawa failed at midnight but officials said there was no risk to the public. Alarms had sounded at another plant at the same time but no problems were found."

Might that perhaps have been because of the hard work done to make sure that nothing awful would happen. I know I spent a lot of time checking that nothing critical was going to be affected on our systems. Didn't have to do a lot of mitigation, but had to check.
