I hate to admit that I run a network of Win ME computers. I must say though that ever since I upgraded to more RAM (384 Megs) and began using MaxMem it hasn't been all that bad. Just get used to restarting after every freakin thing possible and clicking MaxMem all the time. Oh yeah, I also format my hard drive at least once a month just to keep it cleaned out. Installations always go wonderful, (with reboots of course!) I use multiple firewalls (software and hardware) to help w/ the endless security exploits. Once you get used to all that, its fairly stable and compatible w/ lots of stuff. (Just make sure you get rid of UPnP!!!)
I think the worst OS ever made was Winblows 3.11!
The best ever, RedHat 7.2! (Even though I'm still learning how to use it)
And hey, I have a duel boot system. Winblows ME and RedHat 7.2 (And soon to have Win XP Pro Corp Edition.) That way when Windoze dies, I have my backup OS! GO REDHAT!!!
(Isn't it sad how a FREE OS is way better than one that costs over a hundred bucks?)

Avdven, how do you configure XP properly?? in what way?
i made it looks more like normal windows at least.
besides, XP is too round.. like cutey wooty
I have XP and it works fine for me. You can change the style so that the forms look like regular windows as well as setting the start menu to look like old windows. Plus, there is a compatibility option which works great - I was running red alert win 95 edition that will only work with win 95 or dos, but by changing the compatibility for it to win 95, I can now play it.

win 9x/ME hands down. NT/2000/XP is the way to go for an M$ OS. Also, earlier versions of linux(IMO mainly before RH 7.x), you sneeze and you're re-compiling your kernel
ME crashed on me on first boot-up out of the box, now granted...Vendors load a BUNCH of needless CRAP on their systems. my typical policy is to scrap-n-nuke as soon as its out of the box, but being the curious admin that i am, wanted to see the ME setup, just like a typical user would. i will have to a bit of credit to the system roll back feature though, it worked great for me the one time that i had to use it.

Worst OS
Risking to date myself, the worst OS I have run has to be Windows 3.0
A close second is Win Me.

VMS
The one I hate the most is VMS. I hated using a dumb terminal connected to a mainframe. Plus, the big red button was too much of a temptation... I pressed it :D Good thing it was only in high school :)

windows xp
no grief with driver compadibality but it crashed 9 times and lost everything
used all 224 megs of ram
600 mhz p3 was slow as hell
games didnt work
after it crashed the 9th time it messed up my brand new 20 gig hdd
Linux dominates :)

Definately windows ME. I can't remember having to restart our windows 95 computer nearly as much. Even though it did run real slow right before we got the ME comp.

at the moment i'll have to put a vote in for windows '98 and windows '98 SE, had win '98 on a cyrix box and it ran like a dog, currently have 98 SE on my parents box with 384 meg of RAM and it also runs like a dog, no end of system hangs and BSOD's
i would put xp pro on the olds' box but it only has a paltry 3 gig hard drive :(
-
Oh you wuss ;)
Windows 95..Well I really didnt have many problems. Windows 98 SE I had almost no probs. Windows XP Iv never had a problem. Linux... Heh.
Worst OSs:
Red Hat Linux 6.1 (****ing **** ALWAYS fails while writing partition tables and **** like that)
Windows ME: Stable as a postal worker, lol never know when the bastards going down.
"But the boot times 20 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!"
WOOOOOO SO IS THE MAXIMUM UPTIME!
Am I the only one that saw Windows 1.0, and started laughing uncontrolably at how much of a shitty rip off of Midnight Commander it was?
