| 878072 | 2010-04-21 23:10:00 | My bog standard XP server has been on for about 100 days, still running without problem... I wonder how long you could manage that with Windows ME? Probably about 40 seconds... |

| 878076 | 2010-04-21 23:36:00 | I've installed Windows ME on only two computers. First one it would have random problems, crashed a few times but after installing all updates from Windows update it ran fine. Second time, It was crashing so much I couldn't get the updates installed. It corrupted its own registry or something, couldn't recover it (because it crashed while trying to do that too) and then refused to install the updates because it thought there weren't any. Symptoms you would think were classic signs of hardware failure, but no. Went back to Windows 98SE, stable as a rock. I always thought people were joking about how bad it was, but only had to try it twice and I was amazed really at how bad it was. It's like Microsoft shipped an alpha version or something... |

| 878078 | 2010-04-22 07:25:00 | I leave mine on most of the time. It usually gets rebooted every few days just for a clean start (CREATIVE - I'm looking at you!!) but other than that... | Sherman (9181) | ||
