  3. So what really is Microsofts worst system in the end?

    Now seeing the title above I am sure most will say "ME!" but lets take a look one of Micrsofts biggest issues: Inconsistencies between OS versions. Now as a linux user I have had my fare share of UI changes, features given/removed, nitpicks and nags but since it is more or less a community...

    Windows 7 Useraccount preferences from previous versions not available in windows 7?

    Hello, I remember back when we were using XP, 2000, ME, 98 and even 95 versions of windows, we had the option to change the login screen so that you HAD to type in both username and password.

    Windows 7 To the fine folks at Redmond: Thank you!

    Thank you for the chance to test 7! I had never even seen Vista prior to this, let alone work with anything like it. Due to operator error, I tried to reload Windows Me (don't ask) on a separate drive, but had left the 7 beta drive plugged in. The Me install created some funky partition on the...

I got a new nicer 2.8 GHz 1 GB Pentium 4 Hyperthreading black Dell tower for 300$, with Windows XP, and my old PC has Windows ME and I don't want...
