And anyway, its Windows ME hands down.
WInME is just quite frankly bloody awful.
I can't even begin to be bothered going into the full ins and outs, but there are some prime points:
1)What ON EARTH is that horribly slow XP like skin widget set stuff that even runs horribly in XP doing slapped onto something thats Windows 98 Kernel country? Don't be daft, man. Its a total mess and don't deny it. Their implimentation even looks sloppy and slow. Its the XP interface dropped onto the dying embers of 9x, and its horrible....
2)Its another pathetic attempt to squeeze a few last precious drops of $$$ out of the whole DOS / WINDOWS 95 thing.
3)Windows 9x land is full of blue screens, but the number that the average Joe seems to get from ME is four or even five times the norm at least. So many hardware venders went straight from Win98 driver support to Windows 2000/XP and completely forgot about ME.
4)Its not a new operating system, its WIndows 98 with a service pack and a new lot of flashy crap that makes your machine run slowly. Get a grip and get XP, or at least 2000.
5)If you must run WIn9x at all these days, then run Windows 98 - the latest edition that you can find. Its still got DOS, which can be VERY useful, whereas ME makes it harder to access DOS with Windows shutdown.
6)Its called ME - which is Millenium Edition. A last, post year 2000 attempt to make a little bit more money out of the whole Millenium Bug thing, which turned out to be a false alarm.
