Yeah, you need to know what you are doing
more with ME, particularly with drivers.

Yeah, but that was mostly because they had initially
decided that SE was gunna be the last of the Win98
line, changed their mind on that with XP being slower
to be available than they had hoped and so ME had
a rather shorter life than the others in the Win9x family.

Its a very viable product in the Win9x family, tho XP
leaves it for dead in quite a few areas, particularly
going for a hell of a lot longer between reboots with
a system thats left on all the time and used aggressively,
particularly with lots of instances of big apps like Access.
ME is a complete pain in the arse in that situation with
the resources problem that bedevils the entire Win9x family.
