Re: Upgrade question

I always say "now if you want to discuss the worst OS, that's a different story". I love telling everyone how bad Windows ME is. Well, here's my chance. I HATE MICROSOFT WINDOWS ME! If anyone is using it, I strongly recommend upgrading. It freezes, crashes, and doesn't work. Hey ME users...you are supposed to be able to have more than one program running at a time. I always thought that I didn't have enough memory. My friend laughed when I said that I have 256 MB of RAM. I FINALLY upgraded to Windows XP two days ago and it was the best decision I have ever made. It runs at least twice as fast and I did an upgrade so I still have the same viruses, spyware, temp internet files, and anything else that might slow it down. My internet is faster, saving and loading files is faster, I can have more programs running and without it slowing down, and ya, it looks cool. I also have Linux on here and that is much better than any version of Windows, but I would rate Windows XP at least twice as high as Windows ME on any scale.

I never really used Windows 2000 so I can't say much about that, but definitely upgrade to something else. I made the mistake of keeping it for six years. Ok, that was a lie since it hasn't been out six years but I had it since Feb. 2001. I am so glad I upgraded and I wish I had done it much earlier.

Good luck with your decision.
