I’m a pretty patient person when it comes to technology… But Windows ME (Mistake Edition) is the only OS that made me legitimately throw my Compaq ESN pro computer down a flight of stairs
Yeah. It was so bad that they didn’t even bother releasing and service packs, just skipped straight to XP. Then came Vista, which was also bad enough to gain the nickname Windows Me 2 (or Me too).
Nah, Vista wasn’t even nearly as bad as ME, it was just released with hardware requirements that were too high and OEM manufacturers that installed it anyway on their low-end hardware.
And of course too strict UAC, but that could be disabled.

(Yes it still worked fine afterwards)

So many fond memories of running the XP beta more than a year past the official release lol
*Forgot to add finding alternative ways to update the beta version to the release version patches was fun, too

Yeah, not nearly as bad. But still bad enough to get that nickname.
Vista.
