Prior to the release of ME, Microsoft gave away free copies to winners in their contest. I got one of the "advanced commemorative" copies of ME (about 1 week prior to the official release date). Within a year, I had reformatted my HDD and installed W98 again. Just my luck; I finally win something in a contest, and it had to be Win ME. Why couldn't it be the Powerball jackpot instead? ME SUCKS!

Me is the redheaded stepchild of the Windows family; one that MS wishes had never been born. As bad as other versions were, for one reason or another, Me was absolutely horrid.

You know, that actually ran pretty well for me. I got lucky though - it was a huge POS.

DOS 4.0, Win95, Win ME.

The hall of shame.

Acually the DOS version was an IBM proct. MS put out 4.01 that mostly worked.
