    Yeah. It was so bad that they didn’t even bother releasing and service packs, just skipped straight to XP. Then came Vista, which was also bad enough to gain the nickname Windows Me 2 (or Me too).

      So many fond memories of running the XP beta more than a year past the official release lol

      *Forgot to add finding alternative ways to update the beta version to the release version patches was fun, too

      Nah, Vista wasn’t even nearly as bad as ME, it was just released with hardware requirements that were too high and OEM manufacturers that installed it anyway on their low-end hardware.

      And of course too strict UAC, but that could be disabled.
