hat's new in Windows ME

[see Official Microsoft  WindowsME site: www.microsoft.com/WindowsMe/ ]

Executive Summary: Windows ME is basically Windows 98 with upgrades. If you purchase a new computer you will likely get Windows ME with the new system. This upgrade promises enhancements over Windows 98, the most important being attempts to increase system reliability and most hyped being the upgraded Media Player.  Most users can't tell the difference.

  • "Media Player lets you download and record CD-quality audio in Windows Media Format, at half the file size of MP3." Windows 98 users can download this as an upgrade.

  • "Superior digital media features and home networking capabilities". Jury still out.
     
  •  and more. But the press seems to be positively in love with Me! Still trying to decide whether or not to buy? Find out why Reuters called Windows Me "the most important new piece of software in 2000."

  • "Your ticket to the best Internet experience .. the most powerful, flexible way to browse your favorite Web sites, send e-mail, chat, play online games, and more. Broadband support built in to Windows Me lets you take advantage of the fastest ways to connect to the Internet, such as ADSL or cable modem."

  • "Are you ready for Me? Whether you're buying a new computer or just want to improve the one you already have, it's easy to get Windows Me. Windows Me brings you better digital media, home networking, computer health, and more. Here's how to get started." If you already have Windows 98, we see no real incentive to pay big bucks for this upgrade.
