2000 was better, though.
Comment on came across some family heirlooms today, hahaha!

I always thought ME was okay. I think it just wasn’t that much different to 98.

Windows ME they decided to include the WinNT driver model (can't remember what it's called) alongside the legacy VXD drivers. It's actually quite similar to some of the complaints when Windows Vista did it again.
The problem was shit/rushed driver support. If you built a new PC with well supported hardware, or just got lucky, ME wasn't any less stable than 98SE in my opinion.
Of course the nuance is lost to time, all anyone remembers is "ME bad."

You were lucky. I never had to shut down my WinMe PC, because it would blue screen and shut itself down near the end of the day, every day. I’m glad it introduced System Restore because I had to use it often due to constant data loss.
