Windows ME is sooooooo bad, sooooooo sooooo bad.

A lot of people on my dorm has Win ME and I'm just like "oh god."

EVERYONE with Win ME has problems getting on the network, sooo funny.

I'm on the select CDs which I don't believe have this "feature" built in.

All CDs have this feature. It's one of the keypoints of XP, to reduce piracy. (Unless your CD is an illegal copy with that feature taken out. I'm sure somebody has probably cracked it already!

I am running 2000 at home and my computer runs for months without a reboot and I gave heavily on it. If XP will run like Win2k then get it people, it's very stable. I am not exaggerating, MONTHS.

Well, I'm lucky if I get an entire day without a reboot. And to think I waited to buy a new computer until ME became available....grrrrrr I'm shopping a notebook now and it sounds like 2000 might be the way to go. Don't think I want to experiment with a new format.

I can't wait for XP. I've read so many teaser articles that I've gotta have it.
