subject: Win98SE vs. WinME

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

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

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

Best as I can tell, the one difference between the two is that you
cannot easily boot straight to DOS (via the F8 startup menu) if you
are having problems.  But that is from limited experience.

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

Mike
