WinME vs Win2K

[Josetann]

Which do you think you\'ll be using more?  I\'ll be using Win2K the most, unless I can make WinME a bit more stable.  Crashes way too much compared to Win2K.  Sure it doesn\'t take down the whole system...but the USB mouse is all jittery after a partial crash, so I have to do a reboot anyways.  Course I run way too many open windows at once....but I should be able to do whatever I want to right?  Win2K never cares unless I get past 60, which I rarely do.

Right now I\'m doing a dual-boot with WinME and Win2K, one drive is on the Promise card the other on the onboard IDE port....so no boot manager, just a switch from SCSI to HDD0 in the BIOS startup option.

WinMe all the way baby!  So far since installing(which is around 2 weeks now I belive) I have only had one serious system crash where explorer.exe restarted on me(ya know when the system crashes and it restarts the taskbar).  So not even one where I had to actually reboot the system...  Hell I even OC\'ed this hunk-o-junk to 450 to 600 and even though my vid card didn\'t work and all the 3d apps keep crashing windows recovered every time...  

So inlight of these facts it\'s definately WinMe for Me...  I think I\'ll wait for whistler(which is suppose to be the merger of 9x and NT correct?) before I test the waters of the NT world...

Well, the PC would sometimes hang at Post, deduced that it was the USB mouse causing the problems.  So now it\'s on the PS/2 adapter, so that problem\'s gone.  And after installing the voodoo5, the IE rendering problems are gone.  It\'s still Win2k all the way for me, but WinME is looking a bit better now.

Win Me acually crashes on me less than Win 2K Pro. Just depends on you system and hardware.

Win2k 4 ever. WinMe is actually crashing as often as Win9x. I\'m using Win2k since release. No problems although my PCconfig is very unusually.

Now that I have Win2k drivers for my TV-Wonder, I don\'t have a single unsupported device in Win2k.  I love it!  WinMe may be a tad faster, but having a lot of windows (15-20 or more) open drags it down quick, while Win2k keeps chugging along.
