[Great_Satan]

Does Windows Me have to be activated like Windows XP?

[Laukev7]

You're not thinking of using Wondows ME, are you?   :eek:

WHy would you want to go to Win ME

----------------------
Windows 98 is a 32 bit patch of a 16 bit GUI on top of an 8 bit OS written for a 4 bit processor by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.

I think we have another warez kid on here. I'm tempted to delete this but i could be wrong.

[xyle_one]

i thought about deleting this... but im curious as to how dude answers.

it probably is some ware kiddy pirate (Arrghhh!!) but you never know. maybe he truly wants to use WinME.

I've used WinME.  Its not bad.  it was the last MS OS I ever used.  You need at least 128mb of ram and a 60gig HD running 7200rpms to run it properly.

You also need to defrag/scandisk the registry every month!  AND DO NOT update winme with any patches or bug fixes since it will affect performance!

Win ME was my last Bindoze.  I got fed up, and friends introduced me to SuSE

Me is a slow, bloated, unstable piece of crap.  We had a celeron 700 computer in our group which came pre-installed with ME.  Even after doubling the ram to 128 MB it still ran like a turtle.  We eventually had to wipe the hard disk and put 98 on it (don't ask me why not Linux... not my box).

When I called Microsoft tech support, they said it did have to be activated.

I had a problem years ago when I bought Visual Basic 3.0 used at a yard sale for $1.00.  I discovered one file was corrupted when I tried to install the program and tried to call Microsoft to get a copy of that file.  They gave me the run around and one idiot connected me with the anti-piracy department, I guess so I could report myself even if what I was doing was legal.  I finally found out that they no longer supported it.
