A recent newspaper software reviewer from my local area regarding the Windows ME operating system was quoted as to saying it was in fact, "brain damaged." Upon first use by the average consumer one can see why such an accusation would be made.In this reviewers opinion, Window ME was found to be nothing more than an exercise in aggrivation. From all of the software crashes, mouse freezes, and system lockups there is no way the average user can call Windows ME an operating system at all. The only productive session I've had was with the box that Windows ME came in. The box is a nice space to store more important software after the Windows ME OS materials have been emptied from it.There really is no need in trying to revamp or patch-up a product like this through upgrades because it seemed to be a lost cause from it's inception...

many problems with this slow,os. either stay with windows 98 or upgrade to windows 2000 professional, much more stable, then all of them

I am very pleased that Windows ME runs 50% better on my black MacBook than it ever did on my old HP desktop. Microsoft should be embarrassed! It is possible to run this OS better than even XP or Vista but you will need to know how to manually install many of the drivers.Mark,

MSFT is tanking and maybe this is another ditch attempt by the Gates camp to charge once more for something that is not nearly as valuable. I wouldnt chip out 10 bucks for the 'extra' features that this OS provides me with.

this, in my opinion, is a pre release of Windows XP, which will be as stable if not more than win 2000, but i ordered a new laptop from Dell with WinMe on it and it started with blue screen errors and random errors within probably 2 hours of use, luckily i could change to WIn2000 from Dell free of charge, it doesn't matter how powerful your coputer even if it is 1.8Ghz P4, WinMe is toatly buggy you get very mad and frustrated with it very quickly,, don't waste you money....

You get errors/XP installs the Internet for you. ME hates you. XP is your friend. I had ME and I thought It was good. Then I discovered the truth. ME isn't good at all!!! It should be 5.00 instead of 199.99
