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

Pros: NEwer
Cons: insignificant upgrade

why are people so concerned about always getting the best. or...the newest. WinME is an identical operating systema as 98. not much difference what so ever. very insignificant. win2000 is a NT technology base operating system. which is by far more...

Pros: Give me a second... I'm still thinking...
Cons: Doesn't run

In a nutshell...

the same kind a garbage that MS first shipped out as Win95: too early to work right, shipped too late to be 'timely.'

Installation failed or had issues on THREE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS.

These are three vastly...

Pros: System Restore, Sweet Pinball Game, Windows Movie Maker
Cons: Built on the FAT32 kernel basically it's UNSTABLE, security leaks.

Windows Me is a great system, if Microsoft put it on a more stable kernel than the Win98 kernel, FAT32, it would be great! The security leaks in WinME are awful, I like to call ME's security a kind of simulated security. To be honest I would upgrade to...

Pros: Looks better than 98
Cons: Not much improvement from 98

I was debating whether to buy a new PC not with Windows ME or to wait until Windows XP, but I found a very good deal with HP PC, so I just bought it a week ago. I use Windows 2000 at my office and am very happy with it. Because there is no instability...

Pros: Good looking interface
Cons: Doesn't live up to expectations, bugs

When I bought my brand new Dell, it came with Windows Millenium Edition (ME). I hadn't heard much about it, so I thought it would be nice to be able to check it out and see how it performs. I was disappointed.

The first thing I didn't like was...

Pros: good
Cons: blue screen

So now I have however enough from the eternal trouble about Microsoft, and the new Windows now I must to it-give easily my opinion to ME;:

The only question is nevertheless: Is it worth to add itself a new operating system of Microsoft now,...

Pros: Some upgrades
Cons: Just plain horrible

I purchased a computer with Windows ME and felt that I was getting something special. Instead of something special, I got no big deal. I knew about the lawsuit with Microsoft, but did not realize that Windows and Microsoft Office were sold ...

Pros: it's an upgrade
Cons: see below

As an upgrade I think it's a waste of time. Stick to Windows 2000 or NT.

I haven't noticed much on the Pros side- that's not why I'm writing this.

If you aren't planning on web hosting... just know that you may have to spend about 6...

Pros: It was on the computer when I bought it.
Cons: Endless crashing, not compatible with many programs, the lack of a Windows Explore...

If you are a non-technical person, Windows ME is fine. If you are a technical person, this is a nightmare. It is unstable, lacks features from the 98 version (windows explorer to name one), many programs out there aren't compatible with this Windows...

Pros: None
Cons: More prone to crashes, low reliability, RAM hog, CPU Speed hog

I have been using Microsoft's Windows Millennium Edition since the week it came out. I have had twice as many system failures and illegal program errors since I installed ME. The Auto-Restore feature really shouldn't be called a feature at all. Everyone...

Pros: NONE!!!!!!!!!!
Cons: THIS BEAST WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE A LIVING HELL!!!!!!

Please, I beg all of you out there who do not know the truth about Windows, listen carefully to my words. I am a technical support specialist for a reputable computer company and I am telling you not to install Windows Millenium, and by the way its not...

Pros: An excellent upgrade but has some drawbacks.
Cons: Bundled software I don't want. Can't get rid of Windows Media Player, or IE 5.5.

Windows has been a great operating system for easy use. Still is. But I can only give it a rating of 3 stars. Two reasons why...Bundled Software and I can't get rid of that software if I don't want it. Ever tried to get rid of Windows Media Player or IE...

Pros: Dressed up 98 SE
Cons: Very unstable (based on DOS)

Win ME is a decent OS. While I had it before I upgraded to XP I had several major problems with it though. For the life of me, I couldn't network with it, and it has got to be the least stable of all the Windows OS Family. I seriously started keeping...

Pros: Many enhancements most of a minor nature.
Cons: Not worth more than 50.00 to Win98 users

For those who have been running win 95 the answer is simple. Upgrade to ME. For users of Windows 98 the improvements are lesser. The system save utility and the few other enhancements are worth the 50.00. Not to mention that many retailers are heavily...

Pros: New menu layout, certain functions are easier to perform
Cons: Crashes more than 98, some programs tend to be unstable, certain annoying bugs.

I don't really see why Microsoft even came out with Windows ME. It looks a little better and the setup is a bit better, but other than that it is no better than Win 98. It crashes constantly, and my friends that use it say that theirs do too. I've come...
