Actually, Bill Gates owes money to anyone who bought a copy of Microsoft Windows ME or Microsoft Windows 2000. Both operating systems were crap.

ME wasn't all that great but W2K pro has not let me down in three years. What do you base your claim on?

ME sucked so bad. I also agree, W2K was and still is one of the best OS’s ever made. Heck the museum I worked at still has multiple W2K boxes running.

"...What do you base your claim on?"

Win2K occasionally had an error which MS never fixed - you had to reformat your HD and install new. The error would occur when you right click the mouse. Instead of a menu, you'd get the Dr Watson message that there was an error in EXPLORER.EXE. The system would then restart.

Once you got this error message, the only fix was a clean install. MS never fixed this problem. They went on to WinXP. And charged you for it.

I'm a PC guy for local gov't. Almost every Win2K system we deployed came down with this problem. We moved to XP ASAP.
