Nope! I am still thinking about it, but while I have heard some rave reviews saying
how stable it is, I have also heard people like yourself condemning it for being
the least stable version of Windows so far! Don't quite know what to make of what
it's really like. The O.S. you love to hate? Or hate to love? Or would love to love,
but just can't? Oh, I dunno!
Anyway, after hearing how XP makes you re-register the O.S. after 3 hardware changes
(and update something with Microsoft every time you make 1 hardware change), I am
not very keen on it! I've also heard about compatability issues with XP. ME, being
part of the 9x series, is sure to be compatible with more stuff, although Windows
2000Pro is nearly as bad as XP in this respect. I think perhaps a dual boot ME/2000
or ME/XP system may be good? Obviously, the latter would be substantially more expensive,
given I already own 2000 and have 98 as a second boot option on my 2000 machine anyway.
This means the first option would mean a simple ME upgrade, the second an XP upgrade.
And they don't come cheap. Would you recommend XP in particular over 2000, despite
the cost and compatability issues? If so, what do you find is better about it?
