I can personally (and painfully) attest that that's flat-out wrong :p

Incredibly instability, for one. Both 2000 and 98SE were considered to be far, far more stable.

I used to install ME on a few customer's PCs and I used it as well.

It's pretty unstable, but there were times when it ran on a few custumer's systems, especially the older ones. It used to run surprisingly good on those systems...

ME >> 98se.

I used it for two years on my main machine and it hardly used to crash at all, much more than I could say about 98SE. It's still used on my old game computer. I originally wanted 98SE on there for compatibility reasons, but installing any newer DirectX version together with one of MS's security patches seemed to make the OS unbootable, so I went back to the superior ME. The only problem with it is that D1 3dfx doesn't work well on it for some reason and exits to the desktop by itself very often.

I'm on Firefox 1.4 because I can't be bothered to upgrade these things very often.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Slightly off topic now... Do you remove advertisements from the magazines you read for example? Nope, you just don't pay attention to them. Websites are using ads to cover the expenses it requires to keep the website running. This is quite an issue because most ads are keeping track of how many times it is being loaded and gives extra if someone clicks that ad. Now, you don't need to click any ads but blocking them is trouble to the website owner.

Although the magazine comparison does not quite fit, as the magazine has already gotten their money at the time.

I was under the impression that most ads needed to be clicked to actually amount to anything (and I click ads veeeery rarely whether they're visible or not), not just be loaded. If the latter's the case, I'll curb my rampant ad blocking.

[Edit] It's also possible to set Adblock to load ads, but not display 'em. I could always do that, too.

It depends on the ads really. While it might only a little sum of money website owner gets from each advertisement view, it becomes a quite large sum on websites which are visited regularly. Nearly all ads give more money if someone actually clicks the ads.

Now, I believe Firefox's adblock plugin can also only stop ads from being displayed but still allows all ads to be requested and downloaded by the browser. I am unsure how well it actually works and whether advertisement companies have developed means to work against this feature, but at least it should be a better alternative to complete blocking of ads.
