Humor Me Gates

In 1999 Micro$oft released Windows 2000. A huge step up from the blue-screen laden Windows 98. I've been using Windows 2000 since its release. Since then, I have never seen the infamous (among Windows users) blue screen of death. Keep that in the back of your head. In 2001, M$ released Windows ME (Millennium*sp* Edition). I've used this OS several times. And just like it's predecessor's predecessor, (Windows 98) the blue screen made its triumphant return. Wassupwitdat?!? How did they make progress? What is the reason for this ?After Windows XP will they go back to MS-DOS-like operation. Someone please explain this, to the semi-nooB, mysticgohan17.

Windows 95/98/98SE/ME use a less stable core design than that used in Windows NT/2000/XP.

That is why ME crashed whilst 2000 was stable. Now most people ask, if 2000/NT is so stable why didn't MS use it for it's home version? Well that was the plan and is what XP is. After Win98, Microsoft's plan was that the next version of its home OS would be XP (or something similar) however this never originated in time so to fill the gap (and make more money) they released ME which is basically 98SE with some small add-ons.

Its all a way to get in your pocket. You believe they fixed the errors in the latest version, but they haven't. So you buy the next best thing hoping they've fixed it then, but they havn't, so you buy the....etc. All they want is your money, not your productivity.
