   That was my biggest rub with it. All the hype was mostly smoke and   
   mirrors. Also, I seem to recall that it introduced some compatibility   
   issues from my Win98SE system but that was so long ago, I can't recall   
   now what those were, only that they forced me to uninstall WinMe and   
   reinstall Win98.
