I'm sorry but that is just not true. I got more blue screens in any week I ran Windows ME than I did in a year of using Win 98. ME was terrible compared to Win98; I don't even see how that's arguable.
I totally agree. BSODs were more a daily occurrence, sometimes multiple times a day with ME.
Plus, you guys are talking about 98, it was 98 SE that was the good stuff.
After ME was XP, which was outstanding btw. I rarely had BSODS with that, and it was a welcome change from daily BSODS.

I'll take a risk and say that Win8 may be the least sold Windows OS version for desktop PCs ever. I can't see anyone who cares about their PCs getting Win8, it offers nothing compared to Win7, in fact it takes away stuff.
Nope, won't be the case. Since all new PC's and laptops and windows phones and windows tablets will get it. And MS counts those numbers as sold numbers as they've done in the past with other windows.

I fully agree with that other dude in that ME is getting tons of undeserved bashing (and I'd bet real money that the most vocal negativity is coming from people who have never even had ME installed).
Ok, where's my money?
I've used many versions of dos, windows 3.11 WFG, windows 95, 98, 98SE, win ME, XP, vista, 7, and probably others I'm forgetting.

Sort of like in Vista it was the first to have UAC. Yes that was devil spawn, but we figured out where to go, shut that shit off and relax.
And shutting off UAC can have weird consequences and problems, especially in a corporate environment. Like how VNC has issues with the SAS sequence if UAC is off.

I never really really struggled with an OS I suppose. Obviously they were able to get it running well at the MS factory, I was able to somewhat replicate what they were seeing.
Like bill gates and the BSOD while he was trying to demo plug and play in front of the world?
