ME creates more problems than it solves. Win2k is worth the upgrade but ME has been a total waste. Driver problems plagued me. Microsoft couldn't get XP (the latest attempt to unify the 2 platforms) ready in time so they threw out their best effort in NT (Win2k) and added a media player, some GUI elements from Win2k and some bugs to Win98 to get ME.
