Windows Me was criticized by users for its instability and unreliability, due to frequent freezes and crashes. A PC World article dubbed Windows Me the "Mistake Edition" and placed it 4th in their "Worst Tech Products of All Time" feature. "Shortly after Me appeared in late 2000", the article states, "users reported problems installing it, getting it to run, getting it to work with other hardware or software, and getting it to stop running."
The System Restore feature sometimes ended up restoring malware which the user had previously removed, since its method of keeping track of changes is fairly simplistic. By disabling System Restore, the malware could be removed, but the user lost all saved restore points.
My recollection is ME was the bridge between the prior Windows architecture and the NT architecture of Win2000 which is to this day the foundation of XP, Vista and W7. It most certainly was not a quality product, but it might have served a useful purpose in the evolution of the Windows O/S. Of course, that didn't help the users then.
