Windows ME

Windows ME Box

Windows Millennium Edition (ME) was the last 16/32 bit hybrid version of Windows. It was introduced on September 14, 2000. Many regarded this as a highly unstable OS. Some components of Windows NT such as the TCP/IP stack were ported to ME.

Prior to release, Microsoft had Windows Neptune planned as a home edition of Windows NT.
