We use all 2000/NT workstations for development and such, but one division
of our company sells PCs and they are strongly recommending ME over
98...unless you have a need to run older/non-ME compliant applications.
ME does not allow applications to touch (and screw up) many system files.
Consequently, these application do not run on ME. I don't know if there is
really a difference in stability between the two or if is just a result of
this behavior, but ME seems quite a bit more stable than 98.
We've seen several ME machines lose the sound card drivers and there was a
bug with the recovery mechanism, but for the most part, it is fairly clean.
It has certainly resolved a lot of 98's outstanding issues (such as hung
shutdowns and uncommitted network changes).
