Summary: Too many incompatiblility problems!
Review: This was my worst purchase in several years of computer use.
It is not compatible with my Visioneer 7600 USB. I think both
Visioneer and Microsoft have problems. I spoke to several
gurus who service many computers and their consensus was that
they wouldn't purchase it -- Windows 98 is much better. Some
stores won't even sell it anymore! It just isn't worth the
problems. Save your money and wait another year when Microsoft
eliminates bugs from XP.

Summary: I would have given it zero star.
Review: I have an Athlon 1.4GHz machine. The temperature monitoring software came with my motherboard indicates a cpu temp of 59 under ME consistently. The funny thing is this same software shows my cpu temp is always 46 under win2k and xp.
This is not the only problem I had with my ME. There were also millions of crashes, software failures, reboots. I just finally gave it up for the sake of machine. I wonder why MS released this garbage at all.

Summary: Software or Crash-ware?
Review: 1.Fatal hardware conflicts.
2.Incompatability with everything. (Even itself).
3.Consider yourself lucky if you get through the installation.
4.But if you thought that's where the nightmare ends. That's only where it begins. After installation is when the headaches stat to kick in.
5.Unexplained reboots.
6.Unstable.
7.Bug ridden
8.POOR SUPPORT.
9.The Upadate package that Microsoft offers is useless. As are most of their updates concerning ME.
10.Trying to find a solution (on Microsoft's website) for a specific error is a frustrating task. Microsoft just clutters everything into one area and you have to rumage through hundreds of pages just to find what you're looking for. In many cases the sollution is not on thier website.
12.AND IT CRASHES! I haven't gotten through one day without this happening. This is just touching the surface. Go to Yahoo and type Windows ME complaints and look at the thousands of results you'll get. You'll hear people say the same things over and over again: crash, software, incompatable, buggy. It's not worth it. DO NOT PURCHASE!

Summary: I think it works fine
Review: I have a comp that used to have Win2000Pro and WinME installation. But then I got a new 40gig HD and just reinstalled ME. Win2000 has more features and is more stable but ME starts up sooo much faster and works fine for everything I do. And I have had a day when it hasn't crashed! :) System restore is also handy! I will probobly get XP though, just cause EVERYONE says it is SOOO much better. But i'd day that it is fine unless your running a server or need an ultra stable system so you can watch the stocks every second and strike it rich.

Summary: Garbage From the word "GO!"
Review: A recent newspaper software reviewer from my local area regarding the Windows ME operating system was quoted as to saying it was in fact, "brain damaged." Upon first use by the average consumer one can see why such an accusation would be made. In this reviewers opinion, Window ME was found to be nothing more than an exercise in aggrivation. From all of the software crashes, mouse freezes, and system lockups there is no way the average user can call Windows ME an operating system at all. The only productive session I've had was with the box that Windows ME came in. The box is a nice space to store more important software after the Windows ME OS materials have been emptied from it. There really is no need in trying to revamp or patch-up a product like this through upgrades because it seemed to be a lost cause from it's inception...

Summary: Do not mix this with Dell
Review: Windows Me is completely incompatible with my Dell Dimensions 8100 series. I have investigated into every possible solution and the only one is to upgrade to the new and better XP. I hope this will work considering Dell is making me pay for the upgrade while my warranty is still in effect.

Summary: Stay away from it
Review: I program computers, and we had number of compatibility problems with this OS. MS dropped much of good old DDE, causing number of shell application to crash, including number of uninstall programs.

Summary: I can't honestly recommend this (P)OS to anyone
Review: Being a hardcore gamer and long-time user of Windows 98 SE, I was one of the first in line to buy Windows ME. At first, it looked like a no-brainer... faster boot-up time, much bigger driver database, built-in IE5, and 100% compatibility with all my games (or so I thought). To be completely honest, for the first few weeks I was a happy gamer. I liked all the features ME borrowed from 2000, such as the customizable start menu. Then I found out that ME removed native DOS mode support and most of my pre-1998 games no longer worked. Then came the crashes... not once has a day gone by without ME crashing. I like to compare Windows Millenium to Chinese water torture... every time it crashes it usually doesn't hurt anything but it sure is annoying. After almost a year of suffering, this POW is finally ready to talk. Benefits of Windows ME:
1. Faster start-up and shutdown times (at the expense of native DOS mode support)
2. More customizability
3. Much bigger driver database (at the expense of HD space) Drawbacks of Windows ME:
1. Higher system requirements
2. Incompatibility with some ISPs (AOL, some broadband providers)
3. Integrated features like IE 5 and WMP 7 are impossible to remove, so I hope you like them :(
4. Poor stability (worse than original Windows 95)
5. Severe memory leak problems
6. System Restore feature rarely works and takes up massive amounts of HD space (mine reached 700 Mb before I figured out how to disable it) Here are my recommendations (caveat - Windows XP isn't out yet): Windows 98 SE - Gamers or those with older computers (<400 MHz or <128 Mb RAM)
Windows 2000 - Everyone else

Summary: The worst thing to happen to the PC since...................
Review: .......it was invented. Windows ME came with my new machine a P1500 with 128 Megs of RAM. When the machine is turned on it loads at lightning speed. It's all downhill from there. ME is unstable, crashes and locks up regularly. It is slower than my old pentium pro 200 with 96 megs of RAM running Win98 (which I have been forced to pull out of the closet to setup once again) If you are interested in connecting a web site to a database, or even just learning how to do it, (with a program such as Macromedia UltraDev) ME does not support Personal Web Server, so you will have to go back to 95, 98, or get Win 2000 to explore this arena. 95, 98, or 2000 may be better choices than waiting for XP to come out. If you change the configuration of your computer "too much", XP will lock up your computer and you will have to call Microsoft to get an code to unlock it. What will they think of next?

Summary: windows ME is 2 much like windows 98
Review: When they made win ME they did not improve it that much over win 98 but it does run win 95 software that will not work on win 98. I have had win ME for a year now and I found out it does not work well with the ATI all in wonder. There are 2 fitures that I like system restore and pchelth fitures. System restore has help a lot becouse I have loaded software that has messed up my computer.
