Windows Me (originally codenamed Millennium, and sometimes called Windows ME), also known as Windows Millennium Edition, is a hybrid 16-bit/32-bit graphical operating system released on September 14, 2000 by Microsoft.
Overview
A successor to Windows 95 and Windows 98, it was marketed as a "Home Edition" when compared to Windows 2000 which had been released nine months earlier. It provided Internet Explorer 5.5, Windows Media Player 7, and the new Movie Maker software, which provided basic video editing and was designed to be easy for home users. Both Internet Explorer 5.5 and Windows Media Player 7 could also be downloaded for free from the Internet for previous versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system. Microsoft also updated the graphical user interface in Windows Me with some of the features that were first introduced in Windows 2000. Unlike the "Home" edition of Windows XP, Windows Me is not built on the same 32-bit architecture of Microsoft's Professional operating system at the time, Windows 2000 Professional. Windows Me is an MS-DOS based version just like Windows 95 and Windows 98 but with access to real mode MS-DOS restricted for faster system boot time. This was one of the most publicized changes in Windows Me because applications that needed real mode DOS to run (such as older disk utilities) would not run under the Windows Me operating system. Microsoft also stated that Windows Me would be the last version of Windows to be based on the 9x kernel and that all future operating systems, both Home and Professional editions were to be based on the Windows NT kernel that Windows 2000 had been built on due to its greater power and stability. Windows Me had the shortest shelf-life of all the Windows Operating Systems (about one year), and was soon replaced by Windows XP, which was launched on October 24, 2001.
In 2006, PCWorld declared Windows Me the fourth worst tech product of all time (after AOL, RealPlayer, and Syncronys SoftRAM) * because of its technical issues.
