One huge reason why ME blows is that it's the only OS that is dependant upon IE for it's functionality. Ever heard of an error 29 in ME, a misisng control panel or missing system restore. Thats a hosed IE. The bad thing is that depending on how corrupt IE is, if you try to repair or restore it, sometimes it can screw things up alot more and basicly make your computer un-boot-able.
My friend is using ME and recently, he had a problem with IE 6.0 and had to reinstall it. After uninstalling it, he rebooted the computer and got an error message with goes like: ERROR: SHELL32 not found. I had to help him make his OS work again by using the Quick Restore Disks which came with his computer. Luckily, we managed to get ME working again but he lost all his important files and documents.
