Why was Windows ME a disaster and Windows 2000 good.?

Windows ME - otherwise know as Microsoft's Edsel - was a patch job before the release of XP. It was built upon the old FAT 32 file system - its kernel - all screwed up.

Windows 2000 was and is a very stable operating system - base upon the NTFS file system. It was built with networking in mind and performs that task very well.

The only real drawback with Windows 2000 is it balking at third party applications.

Because Windows ME was just a revamped Windows 98SE kernel whereas Windows 2000 was roughly based on the NT line of Windows products. Windows sucks, but Windows 2000 Professional was the exception.

The above comments are on the money - my version is simple i guess LOL

ME came out in 2000 and it was not a very well written OS. It didn't offer very many new features and the programming was not very thorough - didn't support a lot of other things like some anti-virus programs, probs with defrag, shut downs, et cetera.

It is a "buggy" programs. Most programs have little bugs every now and then, but since this was somewhat thrown together and not well written and actually released as an OS - it's failure was widespread. Hence they fixed that and released XP in 2001.

Basically - it wasn't well written.

Google it and you will find a lot of interesting comments :)

Hope That Helped!
