That's not even a real question. ME was just a temporary holdover on the way to XP.

Home users were pissed that Windows 2000 came out for businesses, and they wanted the same level of stability in a home OS. Microsoft took windows 98 and threw it on top of the Win2K kernel (a very loose description, I know), and called it Windows Millenium.

It was garbage, riddled with bugs and a knee-jerk reaction to the public's demand for business-level stability in an entertainment-centric home OS.

A year or two later, we got Windows XP.

Comparing Vista to ME as valid operating systems, is like comparing a car to walking as valid methods of cross-country travel.
