You remember it as Windows 8. But Windows ME haunt me.

There used to be two types of "Windows" in existence. The one based on NT which we use today, and the Win9x line that was basically just an advanced GUI on top of aging MS-DOS. Windows ME was the last of that line, where they tried to pack it full of modern features we've come to expect, but still on top of the unstable DOS core. It was an abomination.

I remember just skipping it and going from Win98SE straight to XP. That was the day 80s-style computing died for me, in 2002.
