XP = Windows 2000 with the "Teletubbies"-esque user interface
ME = Windows 98, but about 1000x less stable and with more annoying features.
If I had to use Windows, then on sub-500MHz machines, I'd use 98. On 500MHz
(or faster) machines, I'd use 2k. Personally, I prefer Linux though.
Especially when WINE behaves itself and runs my CAD software properly.
Later.
