Personally, I've never used ME, I had 95, 98, XP & Vista. My brother on the
other hand went straight from 95 to ME & loved it. Now he's made the ultimate
upgrade (no offense to anyone here) from Windows to Mac. Windows is a pain.
Linux is pretty good. I have SuSe 11.0 dual booting on my Vista laptop, but I
can't for the life of me get Ubuntu, SuSe, or any other flavor of Linux except
possible for a "live" version of kde to dual boot with my XP desktop. Nothing
will load. I have the Ubuntu cd stright from Ubuntu, I'm told that Ubuntu will
create it's own partition. Just doesn't happen. The installation freezes up.
Now this is on my HP desktop. I tried to do the same on my mom's Gateway
desktop & Ubuntu erased her entire drive!! It worked fine, but we couldn't
restore windows & because I couldn't get it to work on my desktop I never
thought of backing her drive up.
