Rose

Windows ME is generally considered by "experts" to be the worst operating system Microsoft has ever put on the market. This is not a personal use experience opinion (I have never owned it) but just what I have read many places. I have several friends that use ME that are happy with it so there are always two sides to every story. Did the shop give you any reasons for their recommendation? I can say that XP handles resource usage much better than ME and is much more stable.

Rose, I own, and maintain 6 computers (wife has her own, and 3 kids in college, and laptop), and have used all the operating systems from w95 to xp, and I can honestly tell you ME has screwed up more of my computers than any other operating system, and XP has been nothing but GREAT.

Just one person's opinion.

Good luck with whatever you decide on....
