Can’t really which one would be worse. Haven’t touched both of them at all.
The truly naughty ones are getting copies of windows 2000. If that’s not playing evil Santa nothing is.
HO HO HO
I have to disagree. Windows 2000 was definitely reliable, as it essentially has been NT 5.0 and Microsoft supported it officially until 2010. If I recall it right, everybody switched to Windows 98 SE in 1999, skipped ME altogether and went straight to XP in 2001 at a later point in time. Even the first XBox used the Kernel of Windows 2000 when it was released back in 2001.
Windows ME has been definitely the shortest and most troublesome release to the consumer market for Microsoft. Released in September of 2000, replaced by Windows XP only 13 months after that. With extended support ending in July of 2006. Without a single Service Pack release even.

Have to agree on this one.

Actually I was thinking WindBLOWS NT the OS without any real driver support that MicroD_ICKS thrust on consumers to try to shove NT down our throats. LOVE the fact that on a lot of list for their OS’s it just happens to be missing.
Well Win2k would be OKish, if you want to scare people install them WindowsME or Windows 8

We live near Hamburg in Northern Germany and just had an upgrade for our internet. Monthly fee is 35€ + rent for router. Before the upgrade we could either use internet or phone, now we can use both at the same time. And one day we get powerful cellphones, too.

At least in the US, this is the rural living tax, where there isn’t much infrastructure.
U.S. Xfinity fiber, $70 a month. Test ran while running Android box streaming TV, using VPN, and a total of 12 devices connected.

How long have you had the upload speed that matches you download speed? I ask cause I’m in Portland Oregon and Xfinity promised two years ago increased upload speed to match ones download speeds. Instead we went from 25 to 40 megs upload while getting 1.2 gig download service. They keep claiming they gave use what they promised us. That is PURE BS on Xfinity’s part.
Had it now for 1 year. The first year we had it upload was only 10Mibs.
