ME had some good ideas but crappy code.

It had all the hallmarks of a rushed poorly tested product.

I think it could almost breach the Fair Trading Acts , Trade description Acts and Consumer Protection Acts of most civilized Nations.

it looked alot like 2k and i though it would be nice and stable....lol was i wrong...hahaha

what stands for S&M ??

S&M stands for Sadocism and Masochism, and its where you get you get tied up and experience pain etc... to get your sexual kicks

So joking that WinMe was to be called Windows S&M implies that it was a painful experience

This is general knowledge, and I dont have intimate knowledge of S&M techniques and practices :o

Hope this helps

Do you have some special non cr*p version of win me that nobody else has? Because the version i had was a pile of sh*t that crashed several times a day and everyone else here seems to have had the same experience.

Thats insane, my record uptime was a day and then it was running in a severely crippled state after several crashes, i couldn't use it for more than a few hours without something crashing

i'm using ME right now and it sucks now as it sucked before when i had it for some months... gonna change as fast as i can to 2k or XP

i was installing my sound card and *puff* it crashed and it crashed explorer even in secure mode... i was like THIS **** SUCKS BIG TIME!

Edit : i'm on win2k now (what a relief) :D

I am running Windows ME right now, and seriously, it is a major HEADACHE. My best uptime I think wasn't too bad for ME, about 1 1/2 days, but that was when I didn't use it, but just let it idle.. actually, WinME sometimes crashes on me even when I leave it alone.

In the end, Windows ME is just a big money-grabber :(

Personally I think ME got a bum rap,most users of ME don't own the full version they purchased the upgrade and it shares file from the older operating system.I personally own the full version and I found it to be a good system certainly not perfect but a good one anyway.There were a few bsod but even in 2000 and xp they are there for some users.I just wanted to put in my 2cents.

Well my WinME came with a completely brand-new computer, and yet it still sux... best thing they've done is add the system restore, because they knew it would be used quite a lot :s

HAHA! Tell me about winMe, lol... i still use them (yeah!!!!). It sucks big time, but since XP refuses to install as dual boot, XP sucks more on my PC (lol). I have an other PC here with win98SE and I never EVER had a crash/blue screen or whatever you might call it... Now the reason why i still use this piece of worthless **** is because i have put in a lot of work, installing everything the right way, customizing it the right way, and now it will take me ages to re-do this stuff... winMe shouldn't be in the list of OSs though...

winMe is not an operating system guys, stop treating it like one! It's a NOS!!!! Non-Operating-System. But XP on me is a NBOS... Non-Booting-Operating-System.

either one you choose, its still crap on my PC... winner: win98SE (not kiddin' - lol) it's the only OS which ran smoothly, blue-screenless and absolutely flawless...

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
    • Turbo Pascal was my first real programming experience more than 30 years ago at university. I mostly taught myself from the included examples and help documentation, because the university only taught the basic syntax and philosophy of Pascal, without going deeply into Turbo Pascal’s advanced features. I still remember when I discovered that I could embed assembly language directly into Pascal code, call BIOS functions, manipulate screen memory, use mouse interrupts, and control peripherals from my programs. That opened huge doors for me. Programming back then felt really fun, direct, and close to the machine. What I loved about Pascal was its readability and the almost instant compile time. Turbo Pascal was an amazing environment, but unfortunately Turbo Pascal for Windows 3 did not feel like it fully carried that legacy forward. Later, Delphi got things back on the right track after the messy transition to TP for Windows. Sadly, Delphi suffered from years of uncertainty as it moved from Borland to CodeGear and then to Embarcadero. That instability made many developers lose confidence in it, even though Delphi itself remained a powerful and productive tool. I still work with Delphi from time to time, but I definitely miss the old days of Turbo Pascal.
    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
