MP>First off, thanks for the replies on Win95 & USB.  After reading all of
MP>them, I have figured out that there will most-likely be an upgrade in
MP>that computer's future.  ;-)

MP>Now, I have another question.  I have read a lot from people who say that
MP>Windows ME was not really an upgrade from Windows 98SE, and that some
MP>places even refused to sell it, etc.

MP>Can anyone give me some actual reasons that it was a "backstep" for
MP>Windows?  Were there any actual enhancements over Windows 98SE?

Yes, in USB support and in some device support.

MP>Best as I can tell, the one difference between the two is that you
MP>cannot easily boot straight to DOS (via the F8 startup menu) if you

MP>I am not considering an upgrade to ME.  Rather, a friend is giving me
MP>a PC with ME already installed.  I am wondering if I should leave it
MP>installed or not.  ;-)

I supposed I am somewhat prejudiced - but after using OS/2 and Warp, 95,
95B, 98, ME and 98SE and now XP, I strongly prefer XP. To each his own I
suppose.
