Title: Windows ME

Anything I should know before I take the plunge?  Does anyone have any problems with AH and WinME?

Thanks

Why do you want ME?  It's slower, buggier, and costs more than 98SE.  DX7.1 is also not as good as 7a or even 8 IMO.

I can't think of one feature that Windows ME gives you besides more eye candy.  Certainly nothing worth paying extra for.

After 98SE I tried ME and W2000. Now I'm back in 98SE so draw your own conclusions.
W2000 was really good and most of games work under it but those ones I like didn't.
If you have 98 then you should keep it (imho).
