I'd have to agree that I like XP better than anythign else M/S has produced... I
am running XP pro and previously ran 2K, previous to that i ran triple boot redhat/2k/Me....
I think winME has it's place.. it runs great on some computers... i run it on an
older pII 400mHz without a hitch... but would not even consider running it on my
personal computer (athlonXP 1700+)
One thing that I have noticed is that both Me and XP have great driver/hardware support...
I usually run my computers full of expansion cards... my last computer had 5 PCI,
1 ISA, and 1 AGP card in it... this was a problem for win98 and win2k (irq conflicts)
but winXP and Me seemed to work fine... kudos to M/S..
Additionally, winXP comes included with almost all the drivers i needed so i didnt
have to hunt down drivers for all my software... >8- )
So, I'd have to reccomend XP pro over ME on a new computer... but if you are trying
to compare XP home and XP pro... it really depends on if you need to extra features...
personally, i dont understand why XP home doesnt support something as simple as NON-ADMIN
accts... along with supporting the full use of NTFS security ... that seems like
a big boner for M/S...
I think the dumbbed down version of XP will be good for most "home users" but i run
several websites... 1 off XP.. and I NEED the security and flexibility that NTFS
provides me with... so XP home edition is out...
