Windows "I have a confession to make, I used Windows Millennium Edition and I liked it. That doesn't stop me making fun of it however. At a time where there was still a separation between consumer and enterprise operating systems, Windows ME was at the top of its class. What a lot of people forget or don't even recognize to begin with is that Windows ME is actually a rather innovative and forward-looking operating system. Instead, almost everyone focuses on its reliability problems which can be largely attributed to the flaky and inherently unstable Win9x kernel."

Me should have been called "Meh"

Yeah, sure, it was fine at home. It ran. Locked up and BSOD'd a lot too, but it ran most of the time. System Restore sucked....never did anything useful. God forbid the computer would go to standby, or sleep. I liked the built in drivers for USB devices (thumb drives) out of the box. Basically, as long as you formatted your drive, and reinstalled Me once a year, it would run ok. Once the registry got crapped up, and orphaned dll's started flying around, look out.
