I've never owned a computer with ME although I've used ones that had it installed. Overall I wasn't impressed. I have three desktops and two laptops. Two of the desktops have 98SE installed and the last one (the one I'm on now) has 2000 Pro on it. One laptop has 2000 Pro also and the other laptop has XP Home on it. So far I've had the most luck with the two with 2000 Pro on them. 2000 is NT based so it's more stable than previous versions of Windows. The main problem I have with the XP computer is trying to get some older programs to run. I'm tired of seeing the "this software is not digitally signed" error when trying to run these programs. I have ignored that error and installed them anyway and some have run with no issues while others were a lost cause.
Personally I like 2000 over other versions of Windows. Both computers with 2000 have never balked at software installations to date and I have yet to have them crash. On the 98SE machines I've seen the "blue screen of death" quite a few times and the XP Home one has given me the "this program has encountered an error and have to close" and "would you like to send an error log to Microsoft" on several ocasions.

And in case you're wondering, on the XP laptop I changed XP to "classic windows" shortly after I got it. I started going nuts after using the other computers and then going to XP with it's menus all different and by habit from the other machines clicking the wrong menus looking for stuff I was accustomed to in a certain layout.
