I've heard it said that ME was more of a temporary pacifier until Win2000
Pro came out.

Another .02 reply.

Stop!  Don't do it!  Windows ME is "mostly" a home networking OS.  It does
not come with alot of the networking components you would need for a
business level network.  If you are going to go through the pains of an
upgrade, I would recommend going  straight up to Windows XP or at the very
least Windows 2000 Professional.  Both the Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP
have better compatibility with business networks.  Windows ME geared towards
the "Home Users".

I've never worked with it but all I've ever heard was that it sucked. We use
Windows 2000 on all our workstations. Works just fine.

My boss is considering upgrading some of the employees workstations to
Windows ME and I was wondering if anyone had any opinions about the product
that they would like to share.

The computers are Compaq Deskpros (or similar Compaqs), 64 MB RAM, Pent III,
2GB HD, 56K Modem, MS Office Standard Edition.  Basic stuff.  Some have been
upgraded to 128 MB and/or 6 GB HD, but only as service depended on it.  They
will be upgrading from W95.

The computers are not networked within the offices, they connect to our
corporate office via dial-up but will need to have stronger connections in
the very near future.  He is looking at either cable modems, DSL or
Satellite, depending on what is available in each area.  Our terminals are
in very remote locations across the US.

Any thoughts on the upgrade process, product reliability, security issues,
etc. would be appreciated.  Feel free to contact me off-list as this is very
OT!

Thank you,
Amy Cozine
