I never get this hatred of WindowsME. I know it's out there a lot of places, but I don't understand why based on my experience. I have it on 4 PC's in my house and no problems. And, the TCP/IP stack was taken from Windows2000 and is much faster than Win98 (measurably so).

So, can someone give me some examples of what WindowsME has done to you to make you hate it so bad? I've installed it on every computer I've built for friends and family the last year and have not lost a system yet. I have to support these machines too (that's what you get for being a nice guy that is a computer "expert" ha!). Again, I've never had a bit of trouble with my machines running Windows ME so I recommend Windows ME for a game playing - MS Office typical PC.

OK, let me have it. ha! :-)

I don't hate it, but I think that Windows 2000 and Windows XP are more stable. A lot of our clients get ADO problems when running our database apps on ME. The average home user will never encounter that kind of problem though.
