How bad was/is Windows ME? I have never used it and from what I have read and heard if you bought a computer with ME pre-installed it ran OK, but if you tried to upgrade your computer to ME then there was Hell to pay. Wasn't ME a "true" 32-bit OS and that was the root of the problem, at least where the drivers were concerned?

I had a HP laptop that came pre-installed with ME. To be honest, I found it to run really good and stable. I watched alot of DVD's, burned alot of CD's, and played several games on it (mostly Starcraft type games), and never had problems with it crashing or getting the BSOD. However, I only ran ME for about 5-6 months before I put Win 2000 on it. I've heard all of the horror stories that people had with ME. I was just one of the lucky ones.
