Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Works better than 98 alone. More stable.

Weaknesses:You will have problems if you install as an upgrade! I've had problems with ALL operating systems, installing them as UPGRADES! Do a fresh/new install. Think of an "UPGRADE" like trying to paint dirt!

Overall Evaluation: I have both ME & XP Professional on my hard drive. I use ME for certain audio remastering that I do and older games that only work with 98/ME. If you plan to put on both ME & XP, partition drive for each os, FAT for 98/ME and NTFS for XP. This way, 98/ME will never write (or read) anything from the XP os, therefore it won't corrupt the boot files. XP will beable to read the FAT partition. NEVER install a program or utility from XP on the FAT drive. This will cause headaches. Oh yes, you HAVE to install 98/ME first THEN XP!

Duration of ownership: 10 Weeks

Strengths:

Weaknesses:

Overall Evaluation: The last operating system from Microsoft that doesn't need on-line activation, ME is basically a suped up version of Windows 98. It is a must have for those older PCs you have hanging around to handle games that XP won't.

Duration of ownership: 2 Years

Strengths: NONE

Weaknesses:Everything

Overall Evaluation: Win ME is just Win98 with more bugs! It is terrible. ME is the single worst OS that I have used in my life. If you are going to use windows, you should upgrade to an NT based OS(such as 2000 Professional Or XP). Otherwise LINUX RULES! Dos based operating systems are crap!

Duration of ownership: 2 Years

Strengths: Not many. It looks cooler than 98se

Weaknesses:Millions of weaknesses. Crashes and freezes all the time. Continously gets the windows blue screen of death.

Overall Evaluation: Overall this os completey blows. It sucks. There aren't even any words to describe how bad this os is. Ever since the first week i got it on my dell system it has crashed and froze. It has to many bugs to count. The only thing it has going for it is that it looks neater and cooler than 98se and has a few more options. System restore is a joke. I had to use it a couple of times and then one time i used and it completely messed up my computer. I had to reinstall it once. It can't take any games. They just mess it up even more. After i reinstalled it i didn't put any of my games back on and it still crashes. i recommend xp pro any day. i have it on my other computer and it is awesome. i can throw anything at it. I put all my games on it and it stills runs smoothly. I have had xp for about a year and its only froze up once or twice and that was when i was playing a game. I cant even remember how many times me has froze. Even though me has a lot of bugs i think i still prefer it over 98 because it has a few more features and its a little newer. But now that xp and 2000 are out i wouldn't even touch me or 98. Take my advice and buy xp pro.plus xp looks cooler and has more options than me.
