    ME is still based on DOS, no matter how much MS tried to hide it. That was what it made it so suckylicious. The NT group are/were the only full DOS free MS OSes.

    Good riddance to it. I wish they'd kill off Win98 and ME next :)

    AFAIK it's still listed as a "current product" in IBMland.

    (development costs never recouped - the only people in IBM who write things off are accountants)

    (may be wrong though, but it was still current in 1997)
