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'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!

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.
