I think not that many people have experience with Windows Me? I remember everybody saying to stay away pretty much as soon as it was released and since for many this was still in the days of desktops where you installed the (pirated) OS yourself, it was pretty easy to avoid.

A lot of our clients were small businesses who bought their own PCs from PC World or wherever. The number of times I arrived at someone's office to be confronted with a WinME PC in a box.

I missed most of the terrible versions, went 3.1 -> NT -> 95 -> 98 -> XP -> 7 -> 10.
Probably going to skip 11 and finally go to Linux now I've got pretty much everything I use working.

there was a particular thing that always had to be turned off -- like -- I think I got to the point where I would always have it disabled because it made just about everything crash or freeze -- anyone remember?
