Everyone I've spoken too and everything I've read said that ME was way too
buggy. PC World recently ran a list of software that won't work with it.
Both my computers now have 98 on them and we rarely have any problems.

| I have upgraded my Win95 to Win ME last Oct as I need USB support. I had

| did have great difficulty at the beginning, some older software is not
| compatible with the ME. The most critical one is my Polaroid film recorder
| driver Raster Plus 95.
|
| At the beginning I clean up the old Win95, re-install it and then install
| the Win ME upgrade, it failed to install the Raster Plus 95. I tried many
| time, finally it worked by install Win 95, Raster Plus and then the ME
| upgrade. I really hate to do any software change on my computer, it took
me
| lots of time. The Win ME is now fine although it hang much easier than
| before, but the new feature of photo thumbnails at Window Explorer is very
| useful for photo file management though.
