Negative Positive
Title: Excellent Bypass Candidate
Review: Before it was released, Windows ME was widely perceived as the home edition of Windows 2000 Professional. As it turned out, it is the latest version of Windows 9x. By no stretch of imagination does it have the stability and the robustness of Windows 2000 Professional. I tried installing Windows ME on a system that had previously run Windows 95, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, three distributions of Linux and FreeBSD flawlessly. I experienced video problems, hard disk crashes and ME getting corrupted repeatedly. I tried reinstalling more than once, both as an upgrade and as clean install after formatting the hard disk to no avail. This operating system is simply not stable. Considering the fact that Windows XP is on the market, I don't expect Microsoft to spend much effort in fixing ME. If you are upgrading from a previous Windows version, bypassing ME is a very prudent decision.
