lots of reviews out there. this one looks rather favorable...
"On the surface, Windows Me looks nearly
identical to Windows 98, and you have to look
closely to spot the subtle changes in the desktop
icons, Start menu, and Control Panel (many of which
are borrowed from Windows 2000). Scratch
beneath the surface, though, and you'll find a few new
features and loads of little enhancements that will
make Windows Me a compelling upgrade for most
users.
These improvements fall into three general categories.
First (and perhaps most important), Microsoft has
added features that make the OS faster and more
reliable. Windows Me should boot up more quickly,
prevent you from deleting critical files, and, if your
system really gets out of whack, even turn back time
to restore your system to working order. Second,
Windows Me makes it easier to set up home
networks and share Internet connections through new
wizards and improved hardware support. Finally,
Windows Me has improved support for digital
imaging and multimedia, with new applications for
grabbing images from digital cameras, making your
own movies, and tuning in to streaming audio and
video (see our review of the beta version of
Windows Media Player 7)." zdnet.com |
