      Thanks for letting us know you're using the crappiest Windows edition to ever hit the stores.

      If you have no problems with Windows ME, you probably keep your PC turned off 24/7,

      Stop trying to brag about how good you are with something worthless and instead, put time in learning how to spell!

      No, you just did not maintain your PC properly or you tried to install Windows XP on the same machine you installed Windows ME on. On a heavily outdated machine, that is.

      And your point is?

      Windows 98 used FAT32. So does Windows ME. So why not go back directly to Windows 98? Because you just like to ramble on about matters of small or no relevance. These kind of people often get to hear the following phrase: Get a life.

      Windows 98's codename was Chicago. Welcome to the club, ME probably had a code name as well. What exactly is your point here? None? Thought so.

      Actually, I must'nt be.

      Windows XP loads slower because it has a lot more services that need to be started.

      Oh, by the way, XP can boot in less than 10 seconds and shut down in less than 2. But that does require a lot of tweaking. :)

      I don't really understand this faster boot up and shut down. I use linux and these are irrelevant, because I don't have to reboot because Windows had a faux pas. Once it's running, it stays running.

      I guess fast boot up appeals to some people, but frankly, I don't get it.
