Pros: Highly intuitive revamped interface--useful help files and utilities, many improvements and refinements over Win98se Cons: Nothing really "gotta have it" about this release
I've been running nothing but WindowsME at home since January, haveing been fortunate enough to download a "leaked" version (build 2450) and getting the "final" build 3000 from the same source with surprisingly not a whole lot of...

Pros: Some interesting enhancements, has a more modern feel to it... Cons: VERY buggy out of the box, nothing very new, USB support still sucks...
I purchased Windows ME last November with the hopes that it would clear up some of the problems I'd been having with Windows 98... you see, I bought my computer before Windows 98 Second Edition came out, and as most people will tell you, the original...

Pros: Tries to be jack of all trades. Great for novices. Cons: Tries to be jack of all trades. Headaches for experienced users.
Brief History
I must admit... I am wuss-ified by Microsoft Windows 95. Before Win95 came to town, I was a bonified DOS user. (Sorry, Linux fans). The only need I had for Windows (3.11 back then) was for MS Office Pro 4.1 (remember...

Pros: Stability, peripheral support, some nice utilities. Cons: Lack of stability, no sweeping changes or advances.
My brother recently purchased a new computer, and upon ordering, he was given the option of having 98SE or ME preinstalled. Thinking the newest version of Windows would suit him best, he opted for ME, and received a full installation CD with his...

Pros: Nice features,restore program,FAST startup,cheap Cons: No frills looks, not enough upgrades
I purchased WinMe(Windows Millenium Edition) on a pre order basis so I got it on Sept. 14. There are 3 different versions of this program. A full version, an upgraded version, and a special edition version. The last 2 are basically the same. The full...

Pros: Win2k's TCP/IP Stack Cons: Unstable, simply 98 with a new desktop look
Windows ME…it’s definitely not for you or me. I proceeded cautiously after having this lovely piece of software dropped into my lap. I wiped out my hard drive to give it a nice virgin install. My review will start with the installation, then setup and...

Pros: A new version expected to come out soon. Cons: Computer freezes and shuts down frequently, various glitches.
I would call myself a borderline computer geek. Developing a deep interest for computers in fifth grade and furthering that interest by buying a computer only weeks later is only minimal proof. I continued this hobby by learning programming, code, and...

Pros: It is the latest from Microsoft Cons: Has problems and irritations for an experienced user
I've been woking with the retail release version of ME for a few weeks now. Version 4.90.3000.
I've come across one rather irritating problem (Microsoft calls it a feature) and one potentially major bug (in how it handles USB).

Pros: easy to install, easy to use, Cons: not totally indentical to Win Me that comes out on new computers
I have been hearing alot of mixed reviews over Windows ME since it first came out. I have been wanting to buy it since then but due to mix reviews I put off doing it. Then my mom got a brand new computer for her office that had Win Me on it. I loved the...

Pros: Excellent feature to help clear out un-wanted garbage loading after each re-boot. Cons: Not understanding what the programs are that are/aren't checked in "MSCONFIG"
Clean Boot "Me"
Clean Boot is a feature in Windows Me (and Windows 98) that allows you to identify and rectify elements in your Windows start-up that are causing your system to slow down or crash (freeze).
Clean Boot allows you to...

Pros: system restore feature may be nice for beginners Cons: VERY UNSTABLE, OLD KERNEL, INCREDIBLY POOR TECH SUPPORT
My reason for purchasing Windows ME was like most users' reasons...pure curiosity. I had read in several reviews that WinMe wasn't really needed, but, since I was going to get it free anyways (I share my computer), I thought, "What the heck, it...

Pros: Improved Start menu, improved updates, lots of minor enhancements Cons: They should really lower the price
Microsoft has chosen to confuse the consumer with their naming scheme for different versions of Windows. Windows 95 was followed by Windows 98, which was followed by Windows 2000, right? No, that would make sense. Windows 2000 is actually based on...

Pros: Greater hardware compatibility, Windows 2000 style interface (About time!) Cons: No native DOS mode, shutdown problem has resurfaced
Well, I must say it is about time Microsoft released a consumer OS that is decently stable. Their track record with Windows 95 and 98 have proven to be more than disasterous, however it seems that they finally fixed most of the 98 codebase in this...
