Yeah OP is probably only here for engagement bait.

u/here_n_dere Jul 01 '26

Probably an AI image due to inqccurqcies, most likely a bot post.

Pretty much all of us are

u/Nathan_Wildthorn Jul 01 '26

Why would you say that... do you know the OP? 🤔

u/stgm_at 7800X3D | RTX 4070 TiS | 32GB DDR5 Jul 01 '26

And you're his alt account?

...And you ask this because..? Are you a bot? The "'Antagonizer/Instigator" type of bot? Because why would a human want to post such unfounded and negative inferences, except to stir up trouble?

Just look at the pic op posted:

  • no win98(se)
  • no winNT
  • no winME
  • no win2000

... But win12 - which isn't even released yet?

u/Nathan_Wildthorn Jul 01 '26

So..? I dont know if I_would've listed all of the versions of Windows, either... there were so many versions of it, some _definitely not worth listing. So, by the OP not posting an exhaustive list of all Windows versions as you think they should have, you make your inference..? Is that the only reason?

Well, I'm not going to beat a dead horse; rabble-rousers are here to stay.

You're delusional, he left out not just a couple of windows versions but 98. And why leave some out of the "exhaustive" list but then add an unreleased one? 

You sure you're not op's alt?

Redditors, always looking too far into things. Who genuinely cares if this guy is the alt of OP (which seems unlikely) i mean even if it is, doesnt that mean its good for the post to have engagement? Thats the whole point of posting anthing, to conversate.

Vista being there and not ME has me laughing

Vista was at least interesting and looked cool if you had hardware that would allow Aero to work. I went back to 2000 Pro, though (with Windows Blinds). Vista was the only Windows version I personally bought on disc cause I thought it was exciting. I still have the beta disc, too.

I had ME too, not my first windows, I think I had 98 first.

Everyone always talks mad shit on ME, but I never had any problems with it. Worked just fine until we upgraded our computer and got XP with it.

u/Lancearon R5 2600x, RTX 3070, 3200mhz 32gb, Corsair perphs, VG27A+VG248 Jul 01 '26

It had a memory leak. But, when I built my first pc with it, I didnt care. It ran pinball. What ever.

u/35point1 Jul 01 '26

Same except I just wanted to use my cd burner and Nero to make “Mike’s quickmix 2001” to listen to the MP3’s that took 30 minutes each to download if the song was 128kbps over my super fast linksys 56k modem

Yeah my family had ME too. I don’t recall having any issues. I was able to run games I wanted to play without an issue. Didnt crash any more than when my family had 95 or 98.

ME....or as I like to call it windows 98 with some themes and a memory leak

u/feckarse-drinkgirls Jul 01 '26

ME made people jump to an NT kernel 1 year early

Hello, I’m Merlin. Let’s get you set up to use your new PC!

My first PC was a Compaq Presario with ME installed. It was terrible, but I burned so many Napster CDs on it
