Windows Me in 2023 - It's apparently more usable than I thought!

Windows Me, the version of Windows that is perhaps Microsoft's worst failure for many reasons. But, it did introduce some significant features into the OS that have been praised over the years, such as Movie Maker, System Restore, and a built-in Picture Viewer. Released in 2000, it was a flop, given people thought they were getting a direct home release of Windows 2000 (which is like Windows Me but with NT instead of 9x), which was not the case (leading to some just straight-up installing 2000 on their systems to replace Me before the release of XP, and I've heard stories of some people staying on 2000 even after XP was released!). It also failed due to its lack of stability, though when I used it here, it seemed more stable then even Windows 95, which is, in my channel's history, a very infamous release of Windows (as one of my earliest videos was supposed to be a demo of that OS but it KEPT BREAKING), but I'd bet if I used physical hardware, I would've seen at least one bluescreen and a few runtime errors (illegal operations).
Windows Me was discontinued in 2006, on the same day as its predecessor, Windows 98, making 2006 July 11th a doomsday for Windows 9x (i guess if you can even call it that; this is in my own words as a big retro tech nerd).
Enjoy! Oh, and by the way, happy Halloween (no I didn't do a cosplay of Nanami Madobe in this video, I WISH I COULD'VE THOUGH), and if you've been watching my videos for a long time, it's been a year (effectively) since I put out Windows Vista in 2022 - Part 1, so, thanks for sticking around for a year, here's to the next year of consistency... I hope!
