Hi All,
I`m considering what to install on my old computer, I have ME but considering putting on 2000, which is the best.
Cheers,

"Me" sucks.
My dad has it and it's full of bugs. I swear Microsoft only put it out to entice people into wasting money on a upgrade. When I came out, I heard that it was rushed and rife with problems.
Total crap. |

ME is one of the worst, bug riddled, and least secure of the Microsoft OS software out there. |

Windows Moron's Edition is really not worth getting. It was barely an upgrade from Windows 95, and definitely not an upgrade from Windows 98. Windows 2000 is definitely the better choice.

Win ME gave me less grief than Win98, I used it for about 3 years. However nothng (so far) beats XP Pro.
God bless you, Mr Gates. |

2000 is a good OS, and ME is easily one of MS's worst, so this is really a no brainer.
Actually, the only thing that 2000 lacks is ClearType, and it's something that I can't live without, so it's XP for me. Of course, if 2000 had ClearType I'd probably never have switched as it's still a great, relatively bloat free operating system. |
