Pros: Microsoft finally made an upgrade for only $50 Cons: Crash! Crash! Crash!
So here I am installing the latest Microsoft ploy to get my money. The CD goes in, and before the setup utility even begins, BEHOLD! My first conflict! After spending $30 to upgrade the software that was in conflict, I continued the laborious...

Pros: Easy to use Similar to Win98 Cons: Takes up too much of the system resources, locks up more often.
In my opinion, if you have Windows 98 Second Edition stay with Windows 98 Second Edition, cause there are very few changes in Windows Millinium Edition, and really makes a drain on your system resources, causing to lock up when you are running mulitple...

Pros: Improved networking Cons: Crashes quite a bit, and I've encountered some bugs
I bought Windows 98 a few months after it came out and was generally impressed. I now have Windows Mellenium Edition, and I am not very impressed. Windows 98 did not seem to give me hardly any problems, but I am already encountering some bugs with...

Pros: Nice Graphics Cons: Too many bugs and glitches. RAM hog
I have been using Windows ME since day one. I find the graphical interface very nice and most of the features are very nice, but the product is so full of glitches, bugs, and little problems it is highway robbery to charge the price Microsoft is asking....

Pros: Quicker, no crashes, more utilities Cons: not as good for older computers
Windows Millenium is much improved since my last upgrade from Win 98. What I like about the Windows upgrade is the absence of crashes that were prone to Win 98 and 95 where you had to have extra utilities such as Norton Crashguard to stop them from...

Pros: networking seems easier, uninstalling programs easier Cons: very unstable, not much difference over Win98
This year I purchased both a Gateway laptop and a Compaq Presario desktop and they both came pre-installed with Windows ME. I have to say both computers crash constantly!
I still have my old 333Mhz computer running Windows 98 and I can...

Pros: none Cons: full of bugs, errors and no real improvements
This is the WORST operating system ever! I would rather use Windows 3.1 than Windows ME. My computer constantly crashes and there is no way do put Win 98 SE on it because it came manufactured with Windows ME on it. I got a brand new PC not that long ago...

Pros: More stable, new features, fun fun fun!:) Cons: Not the cheapest upgrade for $120
My oh my, I just got the final release of Windows ME, and i am undoubtedly impressed. Including its own program for handling archives, and a system for restoring your computer an earlier configuration, I don't see how any one could not like ME....

Pros: New features; more internet-related Cons: Slightly incompatible with 95/98 software; not worth it with XP so close
Intro
When ME came out, I was somewhat excited. A new operating system was upon us - that's always something for excitement. But soon, ME became a forgotten, discount box at office stores. Why, you say? Because what ME changes, it...

Pros: Everything is compatible with it Cons: Everything else. Too bad the one pro is so big:(
Well, Microsoft screws up - again. The only reason I use Windows as my primary OS is that almost all the software in the world is made for it. Linux is a superior OS, but because people think it's hard to use and Windows is so well established it just...

Pros: Less bugs, more features. Cons: Some softwares it isn't compatible with
I don't have ME myself, but my friend does and I like it better. I know that some softwares are conflicting with ME. Like, if you have Prodigy internet or are thinking of getting it, the software in conflicting with ME, and that is just an example. ...

Pros: A great new media player
A great media maker
Spider Solitare Cons: Windows '98 with more crashing and freezing and a few more features.
I got Windows ME and I found it a lot like Windows 98. It has a new media player, and even though this new one has a lot more features and has the ability to have a play list, I prefer the old media player. Also, Windows ME has an easy-to-use media...

by Bradman - Top 1000, Dec 10 '00
Pros: Worth $50, nice features Cons: Still not perfect, some software not compatible
For $50 this is worth over waiting for over an hour (with ADSL) for all the Win98 updates I had to load when I did a clean install on my system (Which I had to do about every 6 months). I only had to load one set of critical updates this time. Make sure...

Pros: Better than plain old Windows 98 Cons: Windows 2000 is better. Too much memory taken.
i upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows ME about 4 months ago, and i have noticed several big differences. First of all, let me point out that if you have less than 128 megabytes of RAM, and want your comp to run with power, then forget ME. Simply put,...
