ME&YOU&a dog named Boo?
Why would consumers want to continue getting the short end of the Windows stick
and stay with the DOS-based version? With WinME, MS is proving the DOS-based
version is just as much a resource hog as the NT-based version. I don't like
the idea of an OS just for consumer use, entertainment, and not for serious
business. That does not win me.
