No. “ME” was the absolute worst.
ME didn’t change the interface. The guts were crap but at least there wasn’t a new learning curve everyone had to go down because some genius thought panels were more intuitive.
Panels suck. They are a mishmosh of crap with little logic to them. The programmer decides how big and where and end users have to hunt for what they want to do.
Menus are so much better. Sure, esoteric options are listed with commonly used ones but logic. Unless you are dumb as a stump menus are vastly superior.
For that alone, ME is not the worst Windows. I nominate Vista. Crap guts and crap interface.
