 Great for those older computers. April 23, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
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.
 Windows Me is a shoddy OS product. February 8, 2006

I made a big mistake when I purchased this piece of junk version OS. It causes my computer to freeze up a lot, The Blue screen of Death is common in Windows Me, and it is very unstable. I would advise anyone who fell victim to this OS to consider purshasing Windows XP Upgrade. XP is a better OS. I'm glad that Support for Windows Me will end on June 30. 2006. It is outdated, and will expose users to security risks. If you happen to have a copy of Me, please throw it away in the garbage and upgrade your computer to a more decent up to date Windows OS like XP and XP Home Upgrade with Service Pack 2.

Ok I know those of U who shout ME sux well U have to know the OS in order to make it work and also there are resourses out there to help U do this. ME is a little finiky, however the bugs all have fixes that have been put on the web sooo. If u have a web connection(Cable or dsl prefered) then save those $$$ on upgrading to XP till U have to. I have all of windows different OS's running on my 8 seperate computers and the hardest 1 in my book is NT4.
Very good compared to Windows 98 January 29, 2006
Better than 98. It loads faster and features built-in USB Mass Storage drivers for usb disks. Has System Restore (It works) in case of emergency and Automatic Updates so you don't need to go to Windows Update to check for updates.
Don't even think about paying money for this! Get win2000 if you can't handle xp! January 6, 2006

Do not buy this product, no matter what.
Trust me, I had to administer one of these machines for about three years before I persuaded the user to let me upgrade it to Windows XP.
The difference was night and day. Same exact PC, but now instead of crashing every hour and having to be shut down over night, it will stay up for months on end. It only gets restarted for updates now.
Do yourself a favor and purchase a copy of Windows 2000 at the least. It's the heart and soul that Microsoft built XP around, and it's rock solid. Make certain that you get all the updates from Microsoft (there have been many, many security updates since it was released) and search driverguide.com if you have a piece of hardware that isn't recognized immediately in device manager.
