Pros: Good start for a multimedia hobbyest that doesn't have a Mac.
Cons: Crashes frequently and the more you upgrade, the less stable it becomes.

I got Windows ME for free when I bought my computer. It came pre-loaded with 98SE and they threw in the ME package for free and for me to do the upgrade myself. When I got the computer home, I used it in its factory form with 98 SE and everything...

If you’re a computer nerd, and have been for quite a while, do you remember when Windows first came out? I mean wow, the graphics instead of the old black screen with text commands. Then came Windows 95, this was neat; a newer interface and a higher bit...

Pros: Much Improvement, Pinball
Cons: Still prone to errors

Windows Me is a great improvement over it's 95/98 big brothers and shows a lot of promise and new features. However it still looks like it's brothers and has the same fussy attitude. ME allowed my system to flex it's muscles a little more than it could...

Pros: Comes free with new PC, automatic update
Cons: Slow interface, no DOS environment for tweaking, software compatibility issues

Windows ME was installed on my new PC. It is incredibly user-friendly - too much so for an experienced user. Some of the features are nice - like the automatic windows upgrade feature - but these features hog disk space. For example, it's very easy to...

Pros: Doesnt crash as much as Win 98
Cons: Takes a lot of hard drive space

If Windows ME had not come with my new laptop computer I probably would still buy it. Well that's what I thought until we decided to upgrade my husbands computer. LORD have mercy, its been a nightmare. We have to reformat the hard drive and start all...

Cons: Not good for people who know windows

Cons: Bogs down, poor driver handling, reverse compatibility?, software confusion everywhere.

As a Microsoft Best Tester, I was one of the first to install this OS on a computer. I went through the entire beta process and was, at times, impressed with Millennium. Now, after working with the final release at home and many other people's at work I...
