ME was the last installment of the 9x kernel series (not a surprise the 9x line died...), while 2000 and follow ups were NT kernel.


ME was some kind of weird hybrid as best i recall. No that i dealt with it much beyond trying to rescue some failing installs.The main thing i recall was that it booted all the way to the UI layer before getting scandisk going...


ME had the new (from NT) WDM driver model, which caused quite a bit of issues when mixed with older drivers. It was an end-of-the-road hybrid.
