Windows ME wasn't the best and the reason for most bypassing it.

I think Vista was pretty atrocious and generally a bad OS.. even bill gates implied that in an interview that he didn't like it.
What about the rest of you?

ME. Very poor hardware support which resulted in stupid numbers of random BSODs. Vista was bloaty, slow and had its issues but it was at least usable in comparison to Munted Edition.
I think Vista was the worst.
Windows ME was actually a pretty solid 98 based OS once you removed the crap, there was a third party patch that removed, System Restore, System File Protection, and I think Media Player 7, it run sweet after that. No matter what I tweaked/removed/changed on Vista, it was still a slow pig of an OS.
Ahhh...all worthy contenders indeed! My least favourite was vista...I tried it on about 3 separate occasions and just could not hack that bloated piece of crap. Windows 8 with classic shell is on the net book I recently got and has survived so far but I still prefer win 7 out of all the windows editions and XP a close second behind that.

Windoze 7 is what vista should have been.
You cant go past XP though.

Here a ranking (dates from March 31, 2013) cut off from . Base were the product pages of Amazon.com, where thousands of Windows upgraders in the past six years have left ratings (on the familiar scale of 1 to 5 stars) and detailed feedback about their purchase.
You are surprised?
That does not show results for ME. ME is the only OS that has had the dubious honour of lasting on one of my machines for less than a day! Vista, at least, lasted about a month before I returned to XP. BTW, I went from W95 to W2000 then to XP, nothing wrong with 98, it just did not do anything that much better than W95. I tried ME, went back to 95, then tried W2K with which I stayed until XP was released. Tried Vista and found more issues, so went back to XP until W7. FWIW I still have machines running XP with little, or no, maintenance issues.
WinME was fairly stable as long as you only installed the standard software on it. Same goes for all Windows.
If you wanted something beyond the norm it was always a PITA to get things running. No difference today.
WinME was the first time I experienced really fast impressive 3D Video performance with the Star Wars Racer game, even on an Aldi Laptop I bought in 2000. THAT LAPTOP STILL WORKS TODAY with WinME and was bundled with rather useful software, although I only switch it on once or twice a year to see if it still works
I used it a lot back then and can not remember any BSODs. but dare you ran WinME on a random Desktop. It would never shut down and the forced power downs would eat up critical files on the hard drive.
Vista was really ugly flawed. I consider it the worst product from Microsoft.

Till yesterday I had a HP laptop running Vista Home Premium 32-Bit (NT 6.0). This laptop died after 6 years everday-extensive-use due to a harddisk crash. I replaced it with a Lenovo laptop running Windows 8 64-bit (NT 6.2).
Can report I never had any issues with Vista. Will see how Windows 8 does futurely.
What I will say: As you can see Windows 8 simply is only a revised Vista means same kernel version NT 6, as this is/was Windows 7 (NT 6.1) too. Windows ME was DOS, starting with XP (NT 5.1) the NT-line became standard in the Windows world.
actually nomeat, there still mouse even in plural, ? i dont know why
me was the 1st read graphical os, but geez it was buggy
joey, why not just put a new hard drive in it?

VISTA is lightyears ahead of ME. ME took 98se and turned it into a hideous abomination. Even Microsoft couldn't wait to kill it. It only just survived being culled in favour of XP by the fact that it had essentially been completed. VISTA's biggest issue were the absolutely terrible drivers that shipped with it. I tried VISTA on my home PC and the ATI driver that shipped with it was so bad that 4 out of 5 times it couldn't complete installing without the driver causing a BSOD.

There is not doubt that Vista is the worst. For those who used it remember the continuous crashing, a lot bugs and so much disappointments. I would want to use it again. There is no need to include Windows 8 as it has mixed reactions. Those using mobile and touch devices love it but those using traditional PCs hate it.
I personally think Windows Vista is the worst of the three you have mentioned. I remember my computer would freeze a lot and got very slow when it ran Window Vista, which I thought the operating system caused it. I didn't really like Windows Vista because I always had problems with the operating system, which when I downloaded a few software, my computer would get extremely slow and it lagged all the time.
Vista by a country mile & ME is a close second.
It was because of ME that forced me to go the NT path and jumped straight to Windows 2000 & then onto XP shortly after it came out & eventually Windows 7 which I'm still using to this very day.
An old thread and lots of Vista haters, but ME is the worst possible of the three (IMHO).
It looked like Windows 2000 but had the (in)stability of 95/98. One of the most pointless OS releases ever. At least Vista can be improved if you turn off the slow indexing feature, under the bonent it's NT.
ME was 98 just re-badged.. 'Millennium Edition'.
Every distribution since XP has been crap and each one gets worse, hence the reason I now use linux. The best since Xp according to people I talk to is Win7 and even that is awful.
Vista may not be that crash hot, but it unfairly cops a lot of crap due to the spectacularly bad video drivers from AMD/ATI that shipped with it. I remember attempting to install Vista on my PC that had a Radeon 2400HD in it. Often it wouldn't even complete installing before the video driver tanked and caused a BSOD.
