Part of my job was tech support at the time.

ME was notably worse than everything else. IIRC they also decided to screw around with placement of stuff on a bunch of settings screens for no reason, adding insult to injury.

I think LGR did a pretty good video on this; it boiled down to what hardware you had and if there were good drivers available for it. Most hardware configurations did not and contributed to the well deserved reputation.

I knew of one reliable Windows Me machine that needed a driver update (perhaps printer?) it became the most unstable operating system I'd ever seen. It would suddenly blue screen halfway through a Quake 2 session.
