I use ME at home, compared to my experience with Windows 98, it is heaven. At least I don't have my pc freezing up every two or 3 hours like I did with 98. I work for a college IT department, we use Windows 98 over ME because of many noted networking issues with ME. Personally for what I do, XP looks like the way to go though I have some reservation about it, if the licensing issues I've heard about are true.
