Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Media Only) Volume License for PC (C83-01275)

Pros: Internet Connection Sharing More stable than W98 on a games machine
Cons: Very unstable on Dell Pentium 4. Memory management a disaster.

Windows ME is curious and it attracted me as an upgrade from Windows 98 because of internet connection sharing. It proved easy to install, and easy and effective to share my internet connection amongst the various ethernet networked machines that my...

Pros: great internet sharing
Cons: is still and expensive upgrade

I just installed Windows Me on two of my computers without any problems. The installation program is far better than the installation programs for the previous versions. In the past I have had to run the installation program several times to get...

Pros: Improved Plug'n'Play capabilities
Cons: Too proprietary, memory guzzler....

This is an update to my previous review on Windows ME titled "Worth Upgrading". During the last month, I have discovered some performance issues with the OS that I feel should be commented on. Firstly, the good news ; Windows ME does an...

Pros: Faster,with a few neat features
Cons: Still not crash proof

I have bought a second computer for my home, the first uses Windows 98SE
as its Operating System(OS). My newest computer came with WindowsME installed as its OS. Having seen all the hype in papers and articles that I had read I could wait to dive...

Pros: Video editor
Cons: Not much different than Win 98

I must admit that I bought Windows ME for all the deals I got when I purchased it. Staples had so many deals where you get products free with rebates, I could not resist. Usually I am not among the first to upgrade to a new version of Windows, but I...

Pros: The new Windows ME start-up sound is pretty cool
Cons: Crashes all the time, unstable, etc...

I bought the Upgrade Version of Windows ME for my laptop. It was currently running Windows 98se without too many problems, however, I was having some networking issues with my LAN at home.

After trying several different solutions (various...

Pros: Faster, more stable, better hardware support
Cons: Not crash proof, large installation

I have been using Windows like the rest of the world for many years now and I have always been sick to death of the crashing and the unsupported drivers. I felt that with Windows 98 we were really getting somewhere but the stability was still an issue. I...

Pros: Easy home network setup.
Cons: Unstable and slow.

I purchased a notebook Dell Inspiron 2500 Intel Celeron. I actually wanted to have it with Win 2000 Professional but Dell did not offered it. Dell provides Inspiron 2500 Intel Celeron with Win ME only, which is too bad. Before, I was using Win 98 on my...

Pros: I don't know. No one could install
Cons: Got lost in the red tape of software blame.

I have not been able to use this software on my computer.
After the basic instillation, my computer would not start. I did like the ability to easily uninstall the software.
I did read as much of the information on the software and the problems...

Pros: The video software, system restore feature
Cons: it takes up 12% of your hard drive

I just installed WindowsME last weekend but so far so good. I've played with some of the new games and they are simple, and easy. Better than plan old solitaire! I love the new video software, although I have actually not done much with it yet,...

Pros: Enhanced multimedia support
Cons: Unstable, buggy, insufficient HW support

I've been a MS Windows 9x enthousiast for many years now.
I started using Windows 95 since the Beta 3 release and continued with OSR2, Windows 98 and Windows 98SE. That's why, when Windows ME appeared, I instantly jumped into it. This was one of my...

Pros: Made by Microsoft
Cons: Freezes all the time

I definately do not recommend this operating system to anyone. If you are looking for a really good operating system to buy, definately buy XP, it is fast and never freezes. As for my experience with ME, lets just say we didn't get along very well. It...

Pros: Slick and Better Surfing
Cons: HTML help interface and I want a new Interface !!

Windows ME in my opinion is much more faster while starting up and shutting down, but when compared to applications on Windows 98,it is certainly slower. This I suppose is due to the cleaning up and in-house maintenance tasks done by it.
I used the...

Pros: Slick look, fewer crashes than Win95.
Cons: The only problem that I have experienced is that some game CDs are not auto-running. I searched for driver updates at the ME web site, the game-makers' web sites, and the CD-ROM driver manufacturer's web site, and have found no newer drivers. I finally uni

I recently did the Windows ME upgrade for Windows 95 on a three-year-old Gateway computer. The installation went without a hitch, which made me deliriously happy. (It doesn't take much to make me happy!) The operating system is performing well, and I...

Pros: Clean interface, easy install, fixes bugs
Cons: Media player is a hoss, nag screens

After hearing about the release of yet another tired version of the 9x series, I was quite skeptical. After all, doesn't Bill have enough of our money? However, since my CTX laptop was begging for mercy after 3 years of Windows 98A crashes and lock ups,...
