i used to use it and found it good,but now doing a fresh install is not good as there is no support from Microsoft.
it might be worth a look around perhaps some companys might do the updates.
its my personal opinion that xp pro is a good all rounder as it will be supported till 2012/2014.
and it finds drivers for some old pci cards even stuff that worked on win 98.

You are correct. Windows ME was the most buggy and unstable (worst) OS Microsoft ever made. And they even admitted it. I recommend Windows 2000 professional if it is an older computer.

Yes ME really is the worst Operating System by Microsoft. I'd recommend Windows XP over Windows 2000 if possible.

I love 2000 personally for older computers. It runs it nice and fast and well. XP on an old computer if not configured down quite a bit (basically to 2000) is just plain out slow and no one likes that.

DarkLord7854 disagrees: "unhelpfull" learn to spell it before criticizing others openly for no viable reason
