 ==Technical details==
-Windows ME "Millennium Edition" was released as the home user counterpart to Windows 2000 (Professional) since an actual home version of 2000 (codenamed "Odyssey") was never released, so to fill the gap, the DOS-based 9x line was continued for one more release as ME, but turned out to be notoriously unstable.
+Windows ME (Short for "Millennium Edition") was released as the home edition of Windows 2000 Professional; since Neptune, the planned home edition of 2000, was scrapped and absorbed into what became Windows XP. To tide over customers due to Neptune's cancellation, the DOS-based 9x line was continued for one more release with ME, but it ended up earning a bad reputation; due to it being less stable than it's predecessor, along with the the removal of real-mode MS-DOS access (Which made playing older DOS games more difficult).
