Summary: 1 Star Only because -10 Stars is not an option!
Review: This is by far the WORST product MicroSoft has ever released! It crashes my system nearly every hour making it necessary to completely reboot. I wouldn't take it now if they paid me $89! Do yourself a big favor: stick with WIN 98 or upgrade to WIN 2000. Unless you like reloading software and formating your hard drives. I swear that this product was designed to make buyers repurchase full versions of Windows to fix the extreme damage caused by this product. If I ran Amazon.com I'd take it off the shelves! I'd rate it -********** Thomas Schmokel

Summary: Like a beta version
Review: I just installed this yesterday and have already uninstalled it becasue it causes major computer problems, including tons of crashes on a three-month old 933 Mhz P3 with 256 MB RAM and plenty of HD space that NEVER crashes with Win 98. Now that I unistalled it, Win 98 is working fine again and relatively error-free. Most of what comes with it is available without the upgrade.It also appears to be a sorts of "Windows for Dummies" version. A lot of the control panel options which allow you to make changes are hard to access or gone. The only advantage seems to be that it lists things in the Start Menu in alphebetical order and that it loads faster, when it loads correctly (about 33% of the time).

Summary: A Great Upgrade!
Review: Microsoft has worked very hard to get the rough edges off of the Win95 series of operating systems, as this upgrade shows. It installed without a problem. It's slick, stable and fast. I do recommend that you have more than the minimun system requirements (P/166 and 32mb). I have an AMD K-6/2 @ 350mhz and 96mb. With my system I have noticed an increase in stability and responsiveness. Also, the system restore feature is long over due. On the other hand, if you are satisfied with Win98 (or Win98se) or have had problems with upgrades in the past, you may want to wait for the inevitable service pack or until drivers for your specific hardware become avialable from the vendors. All in all, I say the upgrade is worth it.

Summary: Well, Bill, you proved me wrong...
Review: I wouldn't have believed you could come up with an OS flakier than Windows 95! My brand new laptop that came pre-installed with 'Me' blue-screened before it even got completely booted when i started it up! In four days of use I've had to use my 'Recovery' disks twice already. Buying this new computer would have been a great excuse to switch to Apple and get a Powerbook but i thought i'd give you one more chance; my mistake.

Summary: Mediocre at best!
Review: Me does crash your sytem more often! Not just me, but friends pc's also. It consumes more memory resources. System restore is at times unreliable. Most people I know have went back to Win98 SE or 2000 professional. You be the judge.

Summary: Don't waste your money!
Review: I recently bought a new computer that was preloaded with Windows Millenium and after only a few weeks I looking to scrap Millenium and buy Windows 2000. Millenium is mainly Windows 98 with a prettier cover, but it still has a lot of problems - sudden lock ups (can't kill a stalled application either), jittery audio using Real Player and Quicktime, & overabundant memory hog. I've got 128 MB and I need more. My advice is to keep your current 95 or 98 and if you decide to make a change move to Windows 2000. Microsoft is trying to move that way, but Millenium doesn't take much of a step closer to that than 98 does. Good luck.

Summary: Me Rocks!
Review: Although this OS is not for the faint of heart, meaning PC's with 32 Megs of memory and only 5 gig drives. This OS is faster than 98, 95 in many ways. Microsoft has cutout the fluff and has given speed back to users. Those who complain about installing and their systems slowing is because of the lack of hardware, not the OS. I love Media player 7...and I love the cosmetic changes to the OS. It looks newer, feels nicer. But Users beware, watch out for the Guard Dog 2.0 Bug associated with ME. I recommend not using ME if you insist on using Guard dog 2.0.

Summary: Junk
Review: I used this software to upgrade from Windows 95 and the only advantage I've found after using it for three weeks is that my computer shuts down a little faster. Other than that, everything else happens much more SLOWLY than it did before. This has been a big disappointment. TO MICROSOFT: I think you've been getting a bum deal with your legal woes, but that's no reason to pass one on to your loyal customers.

Summary: Windows 95 Service Pack #56?
Review: Why is it that Microsoft thinks consumers will pay for these "new" Windows opeating systems, when they vary so little from the original Windows 95 release? The "upgrades" to Windows 98, and now Windows Me, are nothing more than glorified service packs for the operating system, offering very little over what can be freely downloaded as updates to existing flavors of Windows. Unfortunately, for many of us that rely on a Windows based operating system for workplace compatibility and home multimedia or gaming, we are stuck with an aging Windows operating system that becomes increasingly bloated and buggy with each "new version" released. Additionally, you would think that newer versions of the operating system would not break other Microsoft products (such as Visual basic 6, etc.), yet they insist on overwriting existing .DLL files with new, and often incompatible, versions of these files. While it's true that Windows 95/98/Me are not ideal development platforms, many of us are stuck trying to make them work in a marketplace dominated by Windows. As a former fan of Microsoft's early innovations for home and business PC's, I am quickly joining the leagues of the disinfranchised. It is because I use the Windows operating system in so many ways, that I am able to find so many things to less than happy about with their products. Thumbs down for Windows Me, and Microsoft's scheme to fleece consumers with substandard "new versions" that amount to little more than glorified service packs. Stick to Windows NT or 2000 if you need to rely on Windows, but don't want to get stuck in the unreliable world of Windows 95/98/Me.

Summary: AOL User? Stay away from ME
Review: If you are an AOL member and use a 56k modem, your system will lock up literally every other time you try to log on. Then after you do get online your own machine will cut you off (not AOL). I know its not AOL because not only is the connection lost but the AOL window closes also. Microsoft is telling Windows ME users to make a toll call to its tech support line and ask for a file that will fix the problem. It took about 20 minutes to work through the menus and explain the problem and arrange to have an email sent with a link to the patch file on Microsoft's site. Microsoft warns that the patch hasn't been fully tested, which is why its location hasn't been announced to the general public. Good thing. The patch didn't work either.
