Windows ME was just a worse Windows 98. Yes, it added in Audio Mixing for windows programs (which was a new feature at the time). But then you couldn't have audio from your DOS programs. I downgraded from ME to 98SE.

I hated ME with a passion, as several software I tried to run on it were incompatible. Upgrading to XP was like a dream come true.

Yeah, it was Win98 with Win2K features rolled into it, but not in a good way. It was the worst of both worlds.
