Windows ME: Is It for You?

by Michelle Delio

" ... still lacks stability."

Windows ME does include an excellent system repair and recovery application called "PC Health" that will be particularly useful to novice computer users.

But one outstanding application doesn't compensate for the system crashes and slow performance exhibited on our test machines.

We found that, overall, the gold code copy of Window's ME we tested was less stable than its predecessor, Windows 98. Crashes were more common on the machines loaded with ME when performing the same tasks.

The internet is going to be too demanding going forward to tolerate an unstable OS. MSFT is in BIG trouble.

Linux ... stable, robust, free.
