What is Windows Millennium Edition (Me)?
Windows Millennium Edition (Me) is an operating system developed by Microsoft as part of its Windows 9x family of Microsoft Windows operating systems.
It was officially codenamed as Millennium. It was released to manufacturing on June 19, 2000, and then to retail on September 14, 2000. It was the successor to Windows 98 and was targeted specifically at home PC users. It included Internet Explorer 5.5 (later default was Internet Explorer 6), Windows Media Player 7 (later default was Windows Media Player 9 Series) and the new Windows Movie Maker software, which provided basic video editing and was designed to be easy to use for consumers.
Although Windows Me was still ultimately based around MS-DOS like its predecessors, access to real-mode DOS was restricted to decrease system boot time.
Windows Me initially received a generally positive reception when it was released, however it soon garnered a very negative reception from many users due to stability problems. Windows Me became infamously known by many as one of the worst versions of Windows ever released 1. After the release of Windows XP in 2001, mainstream support for Windows Me ended on December 31, 2003, followed by extended support on July 11, 2006.
