98SE vs. ME
![MERRICK](https://icrontic.com/applications/dashboard/design/images/defaulticon.png)
Okay I'm thinking about ME over 98SE but all I hear are horror stories. Before anyone suggests NT, 2K or XP (you Linux guys stop laughing) please note that this is for a particular project I'm doing to make a psuedo embeded DAW o/s. More here:

So I understand the System Restore thing will slow down performance and it is difficult to really remove. Any opinions on this and any other ME issues?

It's a pretty indepth AXCEL 216 article about replacing 98SE FIles with ME files.
I know this 9.x stuff is purely academic at this point but thanks to everyone for helping me out.
"I'd like to say that as far as stripping 9.x goes, I am not alone. It will be interesting to see what happens to this antiquated o/s as time goes on. True, it will never be GPL like Linux, but I think there is still life in it. God knows what people are doing in their basements as we tweak."
I started to whip off my thoughts on this subject, but decided to be a good citizen and read all the posts first.
primesuspect said it all.:D

PS: If you haven't done so already, please give us your input in the “This Weeks Utilities Discussion” thread under General Software!!!
Me seems less stable than 98, and I don't think they added anything useful to it.
Why don't you do the obvious and replace the sound card. I don't see how it is that good if they only release drivers for XP. It took me 6 months to think of replacing my network card, I was just so keen on finding the drivers for it.
/me thinks back to 4 years ago when he did the same thing and called himself a geek
Thank god I have my own homemade system with Windows 2000 Pro and NOT XP!
