from The Register: theregister.co.uk World goes Millennium crazy By: Andrew Thomas Posted: 13/09/2000 at 17:00 GMT Metaphorical queues are already forming around the metaphorical block, not to buy petrol, but to lay hands on the latest (and last) revision of Windows 9X. Windows ME is set to burst onto the world stage tomorrow, a snip at around £40 for the upgrade and £140 for the full version. We've been running ME in various beta versions for months and the final gold code - the version that will be on sale from midnight tonight - is pretty good, as befits what is effectively Windows 98, Third Edition. Apart from bug fixes, there are notable improvements over its predecessors, such as a reasonably good self-repair mechanism, the superior GUI from Windows 2000, the slinky Media Player 7 and substantially improved boot and shutdown times. On the downside, MS-DOS is now so well hidden that it's a bit of an uphill task to create a boot diskette for tasks such as BIOS updating. But overall, we reckon it's well worth forty quid of anyone's money. Please form an orderly queue. No pushing
