        I had WINME as my first hand me down. It wasn’t that bad. Vista straight up constantly crashes, BT did not work, audio issues. It was a mess

          That’s the thing. My experience was the opposite. ME a crashy mess. I upgraded my computer to Vista about 2 weeks after launch, and it always worked well for me.

        WinME was just Win98 with a paint job. And as Win98 was, it was pretty decent.

        (WinXP was my personal favourite)

        I remember the joke that Microsoft called it that deliberately so that if people wrote “I hate ME” it wouldn’t sound like they were trashing the OS.
