Over the years, computers have changed the way we live today! In order to get us there, many hardware and software companies have pushed the envelope to create what we use today. Although we currently live in an age of amazing hardware and software achievements, these products did not come at no cost. Below is a list of some of the worst flops in computer history.

Just found this, pretty good read. I guess it's no surprise that Windows ME was in the list, lol

It was a damn sight more stable than 98 was in my experience.

Re: 10 Biggest Computer Flops of All Time
I found ME to be very buggy...i went straight back to 98 and then on to Windows 2000 and then XP.
It just didn't feel like a decent operating system. I just couldn't get along with it.

Haha, the best thing about ME for me was that I bought it as an upgrade in 2000 for £35 and sold it on eBay in 2005 for £44.50 (plus £3postage). So all in all it was ok for me, crap OS tho.

Re: 10 Biggest Computer Flops of All Time
Nah, you're forgetting the other MS operating systems at the time, NT and CE.
If you put them all together, you got CEMENT, which everyone knows, sinks rather well.
