I have found the complete opposite of what you say kiwibeat. I agree with Baldy. To quote an endearing saying that my father used to use" that's someone elses spit and you swallowed it". WinME is simply an updated version of Win98 with extra bells and whistles, if it wasn't called ME it probably would have been called Win98TE (thired edition). After Win2K was release there were a lot of disappointed consumers who had been promised an updated OS (Win2K was originally going to have a Home and Pro version like XP has but this was shelved.) Because it was designed soley for home use MS omited DOS access. Makes sence really because why would a home user want to use DOS in year 2000? Many of the bells and whistles were a big step forward and have been incorperated in XP. Windows ME was a bit of a con from an upgrade point of view but was / is a good OS for a new user. Don't forget that MS offered a step-up introductory price for Win98 users of about $110. |
