Is it really possible that I am the only being in the planet that had an awesome user experience with this OS? It worked flawlessly to my recollection. I just can't believe the reputation it has online.
Not trolling. I am serious.

Are you sure you weren't hallucinating your memories of using Windows XP
I am not. I remember it clearly as day, how perfectly smooth it was. It didn't crash (or at least, not more than any other previous Windows OS)
Are you sure you didn't excuse some recurring BSODs because you think you caused them somehow? Windows Me was unstable as hell, even on hardware that ran 98 or XP just fine
i enjoyed as well
i suspect people that hated it didnt had new enough hardware, be it not fast enough, or without compatible drivers (i think you needed that all the drivers to be of the same type)
that is what i talk, i barelly had those problems. But my pc was made explicitly for me
>my pc was made explicitly for me
A sticker means frick all, otherwise Vista would have been successful too. You were just incredibly lucky with drivers
Vista was successful after they renamed it to 7
back then windows bluescreens were so common that i do not remember whether i got crash the one time i used windows me
I liked it as well. But then again I only used it with stable drivers, and on good hardware, years after XP was out. With cheap shitty hardware and buggy wdm drivers it would run like shit, and MS apparently wanted manufacturers to install beta wdm drivers instead of old vxd ones because "they can be easily updated later automatically", which never happened
I used this OS to play computer games when I was a kid 🙂
yeah, it worked fine for me as well
my hardware at the time had solid enough drivers that nothing crashed, and it ran all the games I had back then
Nope, I too loved Windows ME. For me it crashed less than 98 and looked nicer. Only problem was drivers but usually you could find one from 98 or 2k that would work with your hardware. 2k was arguably better but I had limited experience with it. I did have some with NT4 later and it was very solid.
No, same for me but no one ever believes me. It was a lot more stable than shitty 95 and 98, faster too. It crashed when you opened too many software at once though, maybe it did not have virtual memory.
Another big problem was that people used Win95/98 drivers with it instead of download new ones, if they existed.
Also, it was the time when RAM was very expensive and defective sticks were sold for cheap, many people used these, overclocking like crazy to cap it all, and blamed WinMe.
ITT zoomers who only ran WinME inside a virtual machine
no
Nope I had a pirated copy I ran on machines for like 4-5 years. I still have it on a burned CD that probably doesn't work anymore.
There's a certain irony to someone mindlessly parroting the IQfy hivemind for headpats, then calling anybody who disagrees a zoomer.
sure bro
How do I tell if its a real OS or a virtual machine?
I never ever used a VM what to look at?
You just needed a beast of a machine to run it at the time. Problem was that the system requirements were too low and OEMs sold millions of underpowered PCs with it.
The PCs in our school's computer lab were running Windows ME, and don't remember having any problems, but then again I never used it for anything more than Word, Powerpoint, or IE.
my dad upgraded the family gateway from 98 to me, then switched to 2000 because me crashed frequently. I know the feeling though, I had nothing but good experiences with Vista but everyone only remembers it as shit
There was never any reason to keep rebranding Windows OS. Bill Gates just being a greedy israelite
Me sadly wasn't a rebrand, it was a shitty patch to 98 SE that tried too hard to be something more than that
I never saw much difference between ME and 98, probably because windows 2000 and XP quickly replaced it.
