Re: How to make Groovy Coasters I had tried ME with terrible results.It was the most unstable MS OS yet. Somehow I have managed to get a rock solid 98se install but when it goes south on me,and it will,Im going to Win2k,or XP if MS smartens up and drops the subscription idea.They are getting alot of bad press on that angle allready.Plus,somebody is going to crack it eventually and folks who are usually honest will turn to the crack to save themselves aggrivation.2 installs you get? I reformat so often Id go nuts having to call MS after the second one for a new key.Bad Idea!!! Bad bad bad !
Done ranting,time to go play with the microwave!

Smithtown, NY | i love ME also. It is the fastest OS from MS, at least on my computer, and has gotten pretty stable considering it is from MS. It blows 98 away in speed from my experiences.

Never Thought of That Part. Reloading ! My God your right. I have loaded 95 at least 70 times.
Win98 5 or 6 times until I got it rock solid. Never, Never crashed on me again. Then I load on a little test PC over dozens of times, I can just see calling MS in the middle of the night Long Distance at that, & without a OS the email won't work.
********I would still be using Win98 if the following hadn't occurred.******** WARNING WARNING ************
I transferred Win98 to drive F:\ formatted drive C:\
and loaded ME on C:\ so guess what. ME wiped out my Win98
it just wrote right over it on Drive F:\ I should have unplugged it or had a backup. I hate Microsoft. NERDS with NO common sense brains. They should be shot one at a time for every bug. That would straighten them out real fast. |

Tell that to Zdnet and other test centers. Speed wise your absolutely wrong. I did quite of bit of research before deciding to test it myself. Nowhere will it say that its faster, but just the opposite. It's a hog. It requires a lot more memory power. It requires more HD space. It runs more background applications. It requires a higher CPU usage & a faster CPU. It doesn't allow API functions. What about games ? Talk to the gamers 95 will blow away 98 and 98 will blow away ME. Go to the hackers sites and ask them what limits ME has imposed. If you got a secret you ought to share it with the rest of us. |

Smithtown, NY | ME IS FASTER FOR ME. I dont care what you say, or what tests you show me, it performs better on my computer. I went from 98 to ME to 98 to ME, and it does do better.
BTW, I have an AMD Athlon (enhanced) 256mb SDRAM...

| ME definately seems to be kinda sketchy.
Some hardware configs it loves, some it tolerates, and some it doesn't like at all. I've seen ME run perfectly on one machine, and error out/get BSOD constantly on another machine. *shrug* I guess I got lucky
