It's frankly amazing that Win ME managed to be so much less stable than previous iterations of Win 9x. I dealt with it for a year or so in college before I was able to get my hands on something better, and it was basically a "run once" OS, as in you ran your applications once and then rebooted because anything else would guarantee the appearance of the BSOD. People complained about Vista, but it was smooth sailing in comparison.

I read that mixing VxD and WDM drivers was part of the problem.

I also used ME for about a year but I don't remember it crashing once. Never understood why everyone had such problems with it, I thought it was just Windows 98 with USB drivers.
