Personally, I liked Millenium very much. I never had a bug with it and when I wanted
to format my hard drive and re-install, it was a charm.
Recently I got a new computer PIV 3.0 Gig and 1 Gig of PC3200 and was it ever a problem
to load XP on an empty hard drive and no bootable CD. I used my Millenium start-up
diskette to format my hard drive, loaded Me, and then upgraded to XP. (Why would
you do a compatibility test when all your components are new)
When XP was loaded I didn't have access to the internet because the XP driver for
my network card was not loaded!. I finally connected my other PC, downloaded the
service pack 1a, burned it on a CD (as well as the program to make XP boot diskettes)....and
got XP running...what a pain in the .....
Once XP running I found it very fast, I did the service pack 2 update, and what happened
next is that my dvd rom could not play DVD's anymore and my ATI video updated driver
caused the display to take only about 75% of the screen. If it was wasn't that I
have a processor that supports hyperthreading, I'd load Millenium on my new computer.
At least with Millenium, I can tweak the system to get the most out of it, and there
are no "tons of services">I don't play tennis; which wonder if they are all necessary.
With Me, if something go wrong , I can easily fix it. But since motherboard and computer
companies are designing equipment to operate with the next operating system, it is
not easy to decide. Constantly manufacturing new operating system is a real bugger;
when is Microsoft gonna stop.
