I personally don't have any problem with WinME. I see all over the internet people ranting and raving how bad it is, how unstable, etc, but realistically, I heard all of this when Win98 was released and everyone shouted stay with Win95. Now everyone complains about WinME and claims Win98 to be better. I find it rather hard to believe that I can upgrade both of my systems by installing over top of Win98 with WinME and my work machine which originally had Win95 got 98, then 98SE, then ME loaded over top and all of them run flawlessly. The only glitch I ran across was my system with dual voodoo2 cards and an ATI AIW needed the "special purpose" ATI driver to work properly, but other than that, everything is OK. As for Win2K, unless you have some good CPU speed and plenty of RAM, I wouldn't bother with it as it can be a real slow pig. My choice is WinME.

Oh, and yes, Win2K is the latest version of WinNT.
