Windows Me: Windows 98 all over again?

By STEPHANIE MILES, CNET NEWS.COM

Windows Me officially launches today, bringing with it a distinct sense of d#233;j#224; vu.

...

Windows Me looks amazingly like Windows 98, which looked amazingly like Windows 95, said Dan Kusnetzky, a software analyst with International Data Corp.

Windows Me, or Millennium Edition, was originally supposed to be the first consumer operating system based on the company's Windows NT code, which is considered to be more stable and reliable than Windows 98.

Under the original plan, Windows 98 would have been phased out. Instead, the company released Windows 98 Second Edition last year and now Windows Me. Microsoft opted to extend Windows 98 this time around rather than move to NT immediately because of product delays in getting Windows 2000 out the door and because of radical changes in the home PC market, where Internet appliances and wireless devices have been gaining a foothold.
