Windows ME was a crapshoot. One of our computers blue screened a few times during the couple months we had it installed; the other couldn't even run an hour without hard crashing.

Nowadays I can't even remember the last time Windows crashed. Newer versions are definitely a lot more stable, though suck in different ways.

The one machine I had that ran Millennium Edition was a Sony laptop that came out right after it launched. Since it was the oem install, ig it survived for some time. My dad used it for Oracle DB work before I got it and used as a computer that could access the internet. I've only had one bsod with it. But realplayer deleted all my VXD files.

It just was not much different to 98 and had less good UI

ME was a nightmare. I remember as a teenager my friend was stuck with it on his home pc and I got to the point he couldn't install many apps (including Microsoft ones) as they gave up trying to support it.
