The only problem I see with running Win2k or WinXP is the current machines/workstations that are in place. Win2k/WinXP, 64meg of Ram, and 2gig hdds do NOT mix, otherwise that is what I would suggest too.
Just out of curiosity why do you want to upgrade in the first place? Maybe that will be a clue as to what path you need to take.

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".

We use Windows 2000 on all our workstations. Works just fine.

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!
