I have ME on one of the computers here and it sucks something fierce. I
had in mind three reasons for using WinME:
1. The new mpg encoding
2. Driver updates so I wouldn't have to search around for them
3. The registry roll back feature.
It just completely fails on 3 -- I get a damn dll error everytime I try
to roll it back. 2. isn't really that compelling a reason to have it.
And 1. ... well I haven't used 1 yet but I can't imagine it not
crashing by the time the movie is done being encoded. Same old MS ...
all feature no stability.
