Around that time, wasn’t there something called WindowsME, which I think stood for MicroEdition? And CE, not sure what that stood for.
There was a meme making rounds back then that with the combined powers of Windows ME, CE, and NT, you get Windows CEMENT.
There was also a joke about it being sluggish or something there. I forget.
You are the only other person I've encountered who knows of this joke, so I now declare us friends.
I think we have no choice but to be friends, now. I’m frankly amazed to run into someone else online who’d heard that joke
I am prepared for impending friendship.
I don't recall where I originally read the joke but I spent years - unsuccessfully - trying to find it again. The version I read followed it up with something like "hard as a rock, dumb as a brick."
ME stood for Millenium Edition , the successor of win 98. CE was the embedded windows.
ME was more like the sucks asser version to Windows 98.
Definitely not disagreeing with you there.
Windows CE was for embedded systems and it was the most horrific crock of shit ever. Which didn't stop them from producing a couple of billion devices with it, of course.
Don't talk shit about my baby the Dreamcast ever again
Come at me, bro!
ME stands for "Millennium Edition", or sometimes more accurately "Many Errors"
