Windows Me

Windows ME (also known as Windows Millenium Edition) is a operating system by Microsoft and it is the 4th Windows operating system for the consumer market. It was also the last one to be DOS-based and the last to use the Windows 9x kernel.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) It's unstable. Most of the software would lag or even freeze at times.
 * 2) The optimization was really horrible, even for a operating system.
 * 3) It lasted for a short development period, meaning that it was rushed.
 * 4) The BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) can appear often for no reason.
 * 5) Running on VirtualBox isn't any better, as it can work worse than the normal.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Their next upgrade, Windows XP is a major improvement over this operating system (As Windows XP is based on the more stable Windows NT kernel). In fact, some people still use this operating system to this day.
 * 2) Some people have nostalgia for this operating system.
 * 3) This, Microsoft's fifth and last 9x-based OS, was the only one to install all the shipped drivers onto the hard disk, thereby making plug-and-play work relatively seamlessly. (Win 95, 95SE, 98 and 98SE users who made regular hardware changes were routinely harrassed to re-insert their installation CDs.)
