Windows Me is an OK operating system that works well for minor tasks such as word
processing, web surfing and listening music. Microsoft marketed Win Me in a way that
made consumers think that they could actually edit home movies, use web cam and other
more complex tasks. Although it does that to a certain extent, once you get the hang
of it you obviously want to go for more, but guess what? Dead end! You can't do much
if you want to try more complex stuff and I personally had gone to hell and back
trying to "understand" how Win Me works. Once, I lost ALL of my hard drive info because
the OS crashed down and I could not re boot it, no matter how many things I tried.
I have a Pent III, HP Pavillion and the Win Me came with it. It worked fine for a
while but now I'm ready to dump this thing and get something new. I have heard many
complaints about Win XP HE and Pro that now I'm not sure what to get. I want to edit
movies and music...I guess MAC is better suited for that. What do you think???
