Advantages: Games

Disadvantages: Crashes, autoplay,

Windows ME was the worst thing I've ever bought! It was meant to be a early Christmas for my self, but it was pathetic. I first installed it (like you do), and that went OK, but when I started using it, I was bitterly disappointed. It crashed on average about every ten minutes, and the autoplay on my CD drive stopped working! And, if that wasn't enough, the entire system refused to shut down!! I had to shut it down manually all the time, resulting in scandisk starting up every time I started up my computer!

Intrestingly enough, each and every single one of the above problems stopped ocurring once I uninstalled it. Windows 98 which is what I am using now is far more reliable.

I have a friend who had it pre-installed on his computer, and he hasn't had any problems, so I think it only occurs when you try to (hah!) upgrade!

All I can do is warn you to stay away. It's not worth the amount of stress it'll put you through.
