Yes I was, and that was bad, but people mostly hated it for being bloated. Windows 8 was a whole other level of hate. Millennium was more like Vista.
Comment on Why does Microsoft want me to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11?
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 8 months agoI think Windows 8 is the most hated version of Windows ever.
You must not have been around for Millenium Edition.

ME had only partial compatibility with DOS software despite being a DOS based OS, but it also did not support the newer NT kernel that XP was based on. It was very unstable, even worse than 98 was. It was even worse than XP prior to the 2004 Service Pack that fixed XP. It was so bad that it only existed for a single year.
The biggest problem people had with 8 was the Metro UI. And yeah, that thing was hideous. Prioritized touxhscreens over actual desktop productivity.
But 8 was functionally faster than 7. I’d even say that Vista users suffered more than 8 users.

WindowsME was really a bad and traumatic moment. He had a mental block ;)
