    They're both terrible OSes, even compared to XP. Try plugging in any PnP device and neither OS will recognize it correctly. By todays' standards that's the mark of a bad OS.

    I remember actually getting an ME box to work properly for about 6 weeks, I was at my brothers and his ME box worked for me without fault for 6 weeks daily use. I mean come on that was miraculous in my eyes.

    Apparently it died on him when I went home, oops.

    You can't repair what was meant to be broken.

    I can remember my home computer with ME being glitchy and prone to crashes. The school computers on Windows 98 were slow as hell and would only recognise 1 brand of USB data stick.

    that is because for USB in windows 98 you had to install drivers for the utilities including for each brand of data stick or usb adapted technology. Sucks but necessarry, your school probably sold the ones their computers recognised to students did they not? most schools with software that would need a driver for that sort of thing would make money out of it.

    I dunno. My school didn't sell data sticks at the time. Me and one other student in my tech class had workign data sticks. I had people harrassing me for floppies most weeks.

    O.o Was I the only one that had no problems whatsoever with Windows ME? Had it installed on one of my boxes way back in the day. Didn't glitch out, didn't roll over and die or anything. It was....normal. Sure it might not have agreed with a few PnP devices, but my experience wasn't nearly as horrible as the rest of you guys.

    Windows SE, however... :rolleyes2
