This operating system resembles a piece of horse crap more than an actual operating system. It lasts about as long as a bridge made of matchsticks and held together by Elmers Glue before it crashes. Sure it's nice to look at, but so is a Mercedes-Benz with Yugo parts running it. I'm sorry I can't give a detailed review of Windows ME - my copy crashed after just three days.
Operating systems I've had:
2007 - Present
Windows Vista
Lifespan: 2 1/2 years, no crashes, minor problems from time to time
2005 - 2007
Windows XP
Lifespan: 2 years, no crashes, computer still in operating condition as of 2010
Fate of computer: Partially Retired
2004 - 2005
Windows XP
Lifespan: 1 year, 10 months, no crashes
Fate of computer: Retired
2002 - 2004
Windows ?? (not ME)
Lifespan: 1 year+, no crashes
Fate of computer: Retired
December 25, 2002 - December 28, 2002
Windows ME
Lifespan: 3 days
Fate of computer: Crashed, inoperable after crash of 12/28/2002
Thank you Windows ME for giving me a perspective on what a crappy, poorly working operating system feels like

Get the Windows MEmug. Windows ME? what are you stupid?

Get the Windows MEmug. Windows ME - a ridiculous example of how bad Microsoft operating systems can be. Windows ME (or Windows Mistake Edition if you know what I'm saying) had started development in 1999 while Windows NT 5.0 (known as Windows 2000 in its final release) was being developed for professional use. Windows ME was meant to be for home use and it was basically an upgrade to Windows 98. It was also the last operating system to be ran on top of MS-DOS (which made no sense because even though Windows NT existed, why would Microsoft want to make a 32-bit operating system on top of a 16-bit kernel?). It was also rushed - good job Microsoft. (You didn't only rush this OS so good job!) Due to how rushed it was, it had performance issues and driver support showed vulnerabilities. (Some builds of ME fucking blue screened when shutting down in safe mode - how amazing.) . Programs also ran on a single string of memory, meaning if one program crashed, every other program would crash too.
In 2000:
Person 1: "Hey, why are you using Windows 2000 at your house even though it's for professional use?"
Person 2: "Windows ME just doesn't support hardware that Windows 2000 does and it's shit. When I tried Windows ME at another place it just blue screened like every second.")
Person 1: "Understandable."

Get the Windows MEmug. See Windows Vista.
Microsoft promised Windows Vista would be better. In the end it turned out to be not only worse, but infested with all kinds of things that track and monitor everything you do on your computer, even when you're offline. By the way, if you want to disable them you can't. Many have (appropriately) nicknamed it Windows ME 2.

When looking for a new OS a friend of mine suggested Windows Vista. But I decided I didn't want Microsoft breathing down my neck and I didn't want an OS that's about as stable as a poorly made block of C-4 in the passenger seat of a Ford truck driving on the bumpiest road in the world. So I got Linux instead. If you really want Windows, go with Windows XP, as it's the only stable version of Windows. Just don't get Windows ME 2.

Get the Windows ME 2mug. A Windows OS released on September 14, 2000.
During it's first months, there wasn't as much hate against it, but then people started to hate on it.
Why? because it was unstable and buggy, and most importantly, rushed.
It's Devs rushed it because they wanted Windows 98 users to have new features while waiting for Windows XP, which released later on October 25, 2001, with XP receiving much praise.
It ended support on July 11, 2006.
at least be slightly grateful of it because it gave us Windows Movie Player, and it walked like great-grandma, but so Windows XP could run like the flash.

Get the Windows Memug. The shitbag of the Windows series. Heck, Windows 10 is better. WINDOWS 10. You are better off with Windows 2000.
Windows ME is a operating system. The ME stands for Millenium Edition... all i can say.
If you live in 2000, just wait until Windows XP.
You’ll thank me. :)
