Although ME now has many service packs & patches available for it, it seems that ME was an operating system that was overlooked a bit. Win 98 was used extensively for many years, asn then ME came out, shortly followed by Windows 2000 & then XP. Due to this Microsoft seem to have forgotten ME a bit when it comes to new patches. I would personnaly still recommend Windows 98SE for general home Internet/Gaming systems, or Windows 2000 for a stable office environment. Win98 support is due to be discontinued at the end of the year so I guess everyone will be moving to XP then. Good luck to you all, lol

A friend asked me the other day if ME would accept Office Xp and Publisher XP 2002 but as you said ME was a bit overlooked in the run of things, so could not give an answer apart from try it and see. Any ideas there?

Yes, Office XP and Publisher XP will work on Windows ME - they'll work on Windows 98 as well

Many thanks Chris, will pass on the message.
By the way this message date is clocking an hour early, is your system clock out?

No, all our server's clock's are sync'd to an atomic clock in London daily - you need to change your profile to GMT+1

I have the option of upgrading to Win ME or Win 2k pro. (I'd prefer XP but I don't have a disk)
Judging from the above, I may be better forgetting ME and opting for throwing on a clean install of Win2k.

Go with w2K.
Windows Mistake Edition is still based on the flaky single tasking, single user DOS toy "operating system" avoid avoid avoid.
Stay away from Windows Ex Pee. it's system resource hungry. w2K will do everything that Ex Pee does with less. It's faster. - and you don't get that god awful Fisher Price Meets Crayola interface.
