Hi,
I bought a new Sony Notebook Computer that came with Windows ME. ME is suppose
to be Microsofts latest OS geared for gaming and multimedia. Although I did not
experience any problems with any of the major chess programs, it is in my opion
not as stable as 98SE. Stupid things like closing multiple windows and or
programs fast would always crash ME. I was rebooting all the time.
If you like running DOS chess programs, I definately would not recommend ME. It
does not support DOS shortcuts that reboot from Windows to DOS. If you can run
the DOS program in a window it might work just fine.
As for me I am back to Windows 98SE.
Regards,
Max
