Well, another year, another Windows release. I've lived with Windows98 for some time, and trust me - I was in need of an upgrade. Now, this opinion will contain some VITAL info you some you you out there, so read on...

Uncrashable the system may be - but immortality comes at a cost. I'm running a Intel Celeron 333Mhz system with 64 megs of SDRAM (PC100). Now, this isn't the best system on the market but it's fast enough - certainly for a version of Windows. The fact is, after installing WindowsME and all of my programs, the PC because so slow it was unbearable.

WINDOWSME WILL EAT AWAY AT YOUR SYSTEM SPEC UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING LEFT!!! A 333Mhz Pentium system was reduced to the speed of a 386 within days. So, take note of this waring. If you have a very fast system and you're not planning to install many more programs, get WinME.

If you need power, speed and programs, go with Windows 2000. It's a lot faster, and it keeps the stability. However, it is much more costly...
