Windows Millennium Edition (internally Windows 4.90) was the last in the line of DOS-based Windows products. Like Windows 95 and Windows 98 it used the same hybrid 16/32 bit kernel that ran on top of a bundled version of DOS (MS-DOS 8.0).
Windows ME was often criticized for its poor stability. Microsoft had made numerous internal changes at the device driver level. However with the news that this architecture was at an end, vendors did not update their Windows 98 drivers for Windows ME. While existing 98 drivers usually «worked», they were often buggy and unstable under ME. Additionally, users were becoming used to the increased stability of Windows 2000 (NT 5.0) and the new MacOS X.
Although Windows ME still runs on top of DOS, just like Windows versions back to 1.01, it crippled the ability to start up to or exit to DOS. Many Windows 95 and 98 users had relied on that, as many popular games and utilities were still DOS based. If you wish to set up an older computer for use with DOS programs, we recommend you use nothing later than Windows 98 SE.
Feature-wise, Windows ME changes the desktop appearance to be on par with Windows 2000. It adds Windows Movie Maker, Internet Games, System Restore, Explorer Web View, Personalized Menus, and new common dialogs.
Windows ME targeted the home market, while the NT-based Windows 2000 targeted the business market. Initiated during the Windows 2.0 days, Microsoft finally realized its dream of merging these two markets under one single, more powerful OS, with the release of Windows XP.

How To Use
Launch INSTALL.BAT from within the Updates folder and follow the on-screen instructions.
Your computer will restart several times during installation. After each restart, the installer will relaunch and resume installing updates until the installation process is complete. (If the installer does not automatically resume, launch INSTALL.BAT again to continue installing updates.)
Some updates require additional information during installation so they can configure your computer accordingly. Read any information carefully as it is being presented to you, and choose any options you wish to install.
After the installation process has completed, it is recommended that you check the Components folder for any optional Windows components that may be needed for your system. These components offer additional functionality in Windows and may be needed by applications you intend to use (such as DirectX, which is essential for running many popular games).
It is recommended that you also review the Patches folder, which contains a selection of third-party patches that address common issues with Windows Me and its applications, and provide support for hardware components and configurations that are newer than Windows Me was originally designed for.

Скачать оригинальный дистрибутив Windows Millennium Edition на русском языке, система так же известна под названием Windows Me. Это операционная система x16/x32 с графическим интерфейсом, релиз системы состоялся 14 сентября 2000 года. Система в отличие от Windows 95 и 98 отличается небольшими изменениями, например в систему интегрирован браузер IE 5.5, а так же Windows Media Player 7. Впервые появился Movie Maker с функциями редактирования цифрового видео.
Одно из самых больших изменений, в системе отсутствует режим MS-DOS, из-за чего стало нельзя использовать приложения, которые его требуют. В систему так же встроена поддержка новых технологий подключения: ADSL и кабельных модемов.
