At this point Win 11 has waaaaay surpassed Vista as the worst windows ever.
Surely ME was worse than Vista?
I had WINME as my first hand me down. It wasn't that bad. Vista straight up constantly crashes, BT did not work, audio issues. It was a mess
That's the thing. My experience was the opposite. ME a crashy mess. I upgraded my computer to Vista about 2 weeks after launch, and it always worked well for me.
WinME was just Win98 with a paint job. And as Win98 was, it was pretty decent.
(WinXP was my personal favourite)
Were you not around for Windows ME? I'd take Vista any day over that hot streaming pile of regret.
I remember the joke that Microsoft called it that deliberately so that if people wrote "I hate ME" it wouldn't sound like they were trashing the OS.
