I saw a demo of WinME on the TV the other day. He couldn't show most of
the media features because the media player crashed and started looping.
Does anyone remember the "Grand Introduction" of Win98, where BillyG
himself demonstrated Win98 to all the top dogs of industry? Within
minutes, the demo machine went into BSOD mode, and flatly refused to
reboot...
