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

Pros: The "next" upgrade to Windows, enhaced multimedia features, "system restore" ability. It's Windows, it's the standard.
Cons: Poor stability, questionable "enhancement". System Resotre is FAR from perfect

Microsoft has released it's newest operating system for home use. This new OS is Microsoft Windows 98's newest successor.

I'll just highlight WindowsME's new features, over Windows98, as that your probably running Windows98 right now.
...

Pros: Customizable, Windows core is very crash proof
Cons: Lots of bugs, no real improvements, lacks any type of security

Looking back on my first (and last) week of WinME
I had high hopes for Windows ME. I want a more stable OS with new and improved features. What did I get? A mixed bag of good points and bad points.

The improvements of ME
...

Pros: NONE
Cons: "Windows Me is but-a flicker on the screen of the story of computer operating systems.

You know, I’m astonished to see here, at Epinions, that over half of the reviewers have recommended the Windows Me operating system. I suppose we have many novice reviewers here, accounting for the bulk of the favorable reviews, but then again, we have...

Pros: Faster, more reliable and stable than previous versions of Windows
Cons: Ok fine, I don't like the startup sound

For most people, their computer is their life. I am the same way. Microsoft has been the leader in the crusade for the most advanced software and hardware of computers. Microsoft has been most well known for their computer operating software...

Pros: Enjoy the added functionality of Windows Media Player 7 and Windows Movie Maker
Cons: Its Almost like windows 98

With the cutely named Windows Me (for Millennium Edition), Microsoft raises the bar a bit with a new operating system that you'll certainly want to consider for your next new PC. While this version will probably not be a compelling upgrade for most...

Pros: Stability and faster boot up times
Cons: not much else, just an update to win 98

With a new look and feel, like Windows 98 on Viagra, Windows ME sure is frisky and responsive as an operating system can be. Early indications show that Windows ME is a product you should upgrade to.

Windows ME has the look and feel of...

Pros: Easy installation, improves performance
Cons: no DOS

This opinion will be about my experience with installing Win ME on two systems with very little preparation. I did not reformat my hard drives, delete programs, or do a special backup (I backup my data files weekly or daily as needed.) If you want...

Pros: User friendly, nice interface
Cons: Pricey (still)

About a month ago, there were some copies of Windows Millenium Edition (WinME) flying around the office, so I decided to throw it on my PC at work.

The installation went quick and easy with almost no problems. We did a full installation and...

Pros: Stable, multimedia features
Cons: Bloated

Updated info (after about a month of use)
Well, after about a month of using WinME...I must it really has WonMe! It's won me over! It hasn't crashed at all, not on its own. The only time it gave me a blue screen was when I was using this...

Pros: Can take away damage causing control from Naive Computer users
Cons: Treats all users like they barely know how to turn on a computer system.

As I have said in a few of my other opinions I currently work in a small computer retail establishment as a technician. Recently I had the chance to construct a PC for a customer that included Windows ME in the mix. The parts that I built this machine...

Pros: Boots quickly, stable.
Cons: Some people say they have compatibility problems.

Why ME indeed?
At first glance it doesn't look like they added much in Windows ME. All of the documentation I was able to find before purchasing it made it look like they were selling Windows 98 SE with a new box and a bell and half a whistle...

Pros: Icons are better, OS is more stable
Cons: none thus far

I bought this because I was sick of my system crashing all the time. I had been using Windows 98 second edition for over a year and I can not tell you how many times I had to restore my system and how many times I had to do a true FDISK my computer due...

Pros: improved stability and performance
Cons: features sometimes seam over the top.

Microsoft has created a excellent operating system for the home user with their release of Windows Millenium. In general the release is a perfect cross of Windows 98 and Windows 2000.

Stability

General stability has been...

Pros: Better stability
Cons: not much new features

Microsoft does it again, it was only months ago when Windows 2000 was launched as an upgrade option for the Windows NT family.

Though it has been widely expected that Microsoft will eventually merge Windows NT with Windows 98 into a new OS...

Pros: Clustered settings, compatibility
Cons: Little new for advanced users

The arrival of Windows ME was not hyped that like of previous incarnations of Windows. This is perhaps because of the fact that ME is not a new product but rather a continuation of the 9x product line. I installed ME because I am co-owner of a computer...
