  10. WinME is not a complete mess. It runs just fine today. The same was not true when it was first released because the third party people were told that the 9x drivers would work just fine with ME. In 90% of the cases, that was true. But the other 10% gave 100% of the users tremendous problems, to the point where they blamed ME for everything from devices not working to stubbing their toe on the door frame of their bedroom. The stupid third party people, being the capitalists that they are, never bothered to actually test their stuff with ME, they just sold their products. It got to the point where OEMs told M$ to either fix the issues or they would discontinue selling windows with their machines. Of course, the actual problems with ME weren't M$'s issues, but maybe it was them that told the third party people the lies. Over time, manufacturers came to adjust their drivers so that they worked with ME, but by that time, it was too late. Too many people were burned way too bad to ever hope for recovery. To ME's credit, it has never had a service pack released. How many other OSs can make that claim? The core routines were actually pretty stable, and only new security issues had to be addressed during it's time. If you get a system today, load ME fresh, get all updated drivers for your devices, ME runs as solid as any M$ product, maybe even a little more so. I will show you hundreds of desktops in business environments still using ME with zero issues. I had two myself, running current hardware, that went for over two years with no memory leaks and no BSODs. It was just in the last two months that I retired those machines for new machines on XP. And, quite honestly, I have had more BSODs with WinXP that I ever had with ME. I think I finally have those issues resolved, but it certainly has brought down my expectations of XP. ME was really only '98 with system restore. ME didn't give you anything else in terms of features. It was much thinner than XP and didn't require near the resources the XP requires. Trying to draw comparisons between the two is like trying to compare a carburettor with a fuel injector. They have the same function, but they are vastly different. The bad reputation for ME will, undoubtedly, live on for many years. But the problems were really with the drivers. That won't change people’s opinions, however. my two cents
