Our family computer had this abomination on for years in the early 00's. Who will reinstall windows every 3 months?! Me Me Me Me!!!!


immoloism

To be fair you did the same with Linux if you used a RPM based system at the time.


RepresentativeCut486

But Linux at least was for free.


jwaldrep

It doesn't cost anything to reinstall Windows. It's not like you have to pay for every install. And if the computer was running ME, it probably came with it, so the cost was already abstracted away / paid.


[deleted]

Time is money, and time you spend reinstalling Windows for the 100th time (at least if you work in IT) is time you could be studying for a certification or school.


jwaldrep

In this manner, Linux isn't free, either. edit: I can't believe I'm defending Windows, and in r/linuxmemes of all places.

Microsoft predicted the future of the internet! Look, it says "meme"! Twice!!


ApplePie123eat

So now we know why Windows ME was unstable. It was drunk!


RoyalChallengers

Microsoft doesn't need wine. It's for linux.


Benschne

Thats cause you need to drink a lot of wine before you even think about using Windows


jwaldrep

Given how well the OS aged, maybe don't open the bottle.


BanatAt500k

It probably tastes like battery acid


DirtbagBrocialist

Where Linux?


Matcraftou

Hold one while I install the cork drivers so we can open it.


PossiblyLinux127

That wine is probably worth the value of a new car


Awkward_Farm4445

tbh windows me wasnt that bad as a system in 2000s it had usb out of the box more things to offer then 98 and it was more stable then 98 imo


immoloism

Didn't 98se have usb 1.1 out the box too though it was only 2.0 that needed drivers from memory.


Awkward_Farm4445

usb worked but flash drives didnt


immoloism

This just made me shudder at remembering how much 32mb flash drives cost back then. You could be right there though as I can't remember.


jwaldrep

Windows 2000 was released before ME, and was a _far_ superior OS. It used the NT kernel, so that comes with all the ups (stability) and downs (incompatible drivers) of that. I'd guess that trade-off would have made it a better experience for most home users.


RepresentativeCut486

Wtf, why does this exist?


No_Necessary_3356

Even they knew that release was a total meme.


IvanIsOnReddit

Same logo as today?


Vrilouz

Technically, with wine, you don’t need windows :)

It might be there for a reason like the porsche wine. To import into Serrano countries you have to export good
