I don’t get why everyone’s so hostile to Windows Me. It was a perfectly good operating system for its time. It certainly didn’t crash on me any more than 98 did before it, or XP did after it. And it had some genuine improvements grandfathered in from Win2000.
That said, I’m now a Linux user, so my opinions are invalid /j
You are in the minority with your experience. Either you lucked out on ME or you had especially bad luck with XP.
Brand name PCs were being sold in 2000 with ME installed, that fresh out of the box would hang just trying to load the applications that were shipped with it.
ME was basically a less stable 98. I used it for years until the hard drive failed, and it wasn’t the worst thing ever. It was definitely a step down from 98 though, and XP blew it out of the water.

They broke stuff frequently and implemented half baked ideas that didn’t really go anywhere.
ME had the same problems as Vista and 8
By their end of life the next product was a good one because of the problems we went through with the half baked one.
ME brought us XP
Vista brought us 7
8 brought us 8.1

I think it was overall a step down from win2k but that was the best software Microsoft has ever shipped.
