Summary: Garbage
Comment: I have this OS on an old laptop and it is truly madning. Not as bad as Vista but this was the start toward Vista's horrible experience. Crashes like there's no tommorw.

Summary: MacBook ME
Comment: 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.

Summary: the worst version of Windows since Windows 2.0
Comment: Windows Me is basically Windows 98 with a fancy new name to allude to the year it was released (2000)...it was just some PR stunt. As with Windows 98, Windows Me is crash prone...so expect to see one BSoD (Blue Screen of Death) after another. I tried Windows Me back when it was released...I went right back to Windows 98...and since then I have migrated to Linux.
Really, there is no reason to use Windows 98 or Windows Me on ANY computer. If you have to have an OS but don't want Windows XP or the upcoming Windows Vista, then your best best for your Wintel PC is to switch to an easy-to-use Linux distro such as Xandros, Ubuntu/Kubuntu, Linspire, or Freespire.

Summary: Don't ever buy this
Comment: For those who says that ME works properly, I would like to know which computer they have. ME is garbage.....I was going crazy everyday, reinstalling the program. I was a master, an expert doing that. An everyday new crash. I bought XP and my life changed, My girlfriend now loves me and everything is different in my life.

Summary: Great for those older computers.
Comment: I owned Windows ME from 2000 to 2005 (when I upgraded to Windows XP Home Edition SP2). My computer came with ME pre-installed. Not as stable as Windows XP. Only ever crashes when you don't defrag, spy ware scan, virus scan and reg clean. If you do this daily - weekly. You will be running more stable. I'm not exactly sure why Microsoft released this operating system so close to Windows 2000 and Windows XP. I think it is because of a delay in XP causing ME to be a force release. A bit like a XP Beta. Id recommend it to anyone but if you're looking for that extra piece of stability, performance and not looking for the blue screen of death id recommend XP.
Minimum requirements states:
150MHz PII
32MB Memory
2GB Hard disk
My Recommended Minimum is
700MHz Celeron, 600MHz Pentium III or equivalent
256MB Memory
20GB Hard Disk Drive (5400RPM)
That is also enough power for Windows XP. Although on XP I do recommend 512MB Memory rather than 256mb.
