Windows Millennium Edition, or Windows Me, is a
graphical operating system released on September
14, 2000 by Microsoft.
Windows Me was the successor to Windows 98 and,
just like Windows 98, was targeted specifically
at home PC users. It included Internet Explorer
5.5, Windows Media Player 7, and the new Windows
Movie Maker software, which provided basic video
editing and was designed to be easy for home
users.
Compared with other releases, Windows
Me had a short shelf-life of just over a year;
it was soon replaced by the Windows NT-based
Windows XP, which was launched on October 25,
2001.
Microsoft ended support for Windows Me on July
11, 2006.
