Windows ME is Windows Millenium...it came out after Windows 2000. You will be hard pressed to find drivers for most everything if you somehow find a ME install disk.
2000 was targeted for business, while ME was targeted for home users. XP combined them both.
Linux is not for everyone, especially the computer illiterate. Just stick with Windows-based OS and youll be fine.

Well, they offer XP downgrades...for a price. As a matter of fact, some lady is suing MS for that exact reason...its actually turned into a class-act suit.
People DEAL with Vista because most folks do not know how to downgrade. If you do not know what youre doing, you will fuck your PC up, in a sense. Most folks have just ACCEPTED Vista...
Vista takes up MORE hardware resources, has bugs in many of its features (causing them to not work right), and it isnt very user friendly if you dont know shit about it. Its new security features are extremely annoying.

ok again thanks for all the info
im gonna be buying this today because sales tax is going up tomorrow
what do you guys think of this deal?
price-$728 before tax
i'll get:
599-(dell ispiron15 with xp)+ (dual processor)50+ 79 (15 mos. of antivirus pre-installed)=728
im also considering getting:
dell inspiron 13(vista)-400+79(antivirus 1 yr)+50 (dual processor)+ ( extra memory 50 )=578
which would you guys get between these two considering the difference of $150.00
im leaning towards the more expensive one with xp but keep in mind im only using it for web browsing and word processing and think the less expensive might work also
