I still don't know what ME really was. A dressed down NT? A poorly updated 98? A multimedia home version of 2000? It just really can't be classified. 98C was so much better that calling ME an upgrade was LOL funny.
A desperate repackaging of Windows 98, when there was no really new product to sell. It incorporated the improvements from 98SE and added ermine mudflaps and a GT Racing Stripe.
In short, vaporware.
I do think it may have had a forerunner of the RESTORE function, and if I had all afternoon to wait for the fossil "Byte Me" laptop to boot, I would look for you..hahaha.
