Win ME Disks

August 12, 2008

I am trying to setup multiple computers with every version of Windows from

Win 3.1 on. Is it possible to obtain a Windows ME installation disk?

Any info would be really helpful.

August 12, 2008

RE: Win ME Disks

I guess most of us on this forum have one. The question is, can we give it to

you legally?

I'm sure you'll find Windows Me on e-Bay at a reasonnable price.

I see the concept of charity is lost on you.

Or is it that you don't know enough to know that what matters alleged

'software piracy'-wise is the key, not the installation files?

Or is it that you're such a sad fux0r that you can't bear the thought of an

all-but-worthless years-out-of-date electronic-related product going for a

song, because to you it's a status symbol?

I have a 5400rpm 30 gigabyte Maxtor hdd sitting around here I've been trying

to give away rather than throw away. It was once worth thousands of pesetas,

now it is worth nothing, except to a maroon. Should I throw it away rather

than give it away, because a bunch of sad sax still use them and haven't

cottoned on to their actual worth, and desperately want to maintain the

illusion of an age of craftsmanship long gone whereby the value of consumer

goods does not drop like the proverbial? Though I believe that was *before*

the age of electrickery.

'New' on ebay? Microsoft stopped selling Windows Millennium Edition years

ago. Perhaps you mean 'unused'. Microsoft stopped supporting Windows ME

years ago - it is a liability now because the vulnerabilities don't get

rectified anymore. The only intelligent use of any Windows 9x system today

is as a working museum piece. XP was released seven years ago and soon even

that will no longer be supported.

If there's one thing worse than a gullibull it's one who snorts his acquired

ignorance at others.

The OP asks for an "installation disk", not "installation files".

Yes, one can buy "new" stuff on e-Bay. Meaning unopened.

I'm sure that will come as a surprise to you but the value of an

object has nothing to do with the opinion you might have of it, no

matter how "intelligent" it might be. LOL. Some museum pieces can

fetch quite a good price by the way.

And what's a "maroon"?

I agree with you, Arturo. Disregard these idiots.

Hopefully the OP can get Windows ME from you. I have a copy too, if need

be. As you say, it's unsupported, so WTF? I don't get the "piracy" issue

on these old, unsupported systems anyway. I guess some people enjoy

spouting their legalese around just to sound important and "informed."

Screw 'em!

Microsoft once advised me to reinstall using the upgrade version

Install CD instead of the "complete" version. I no longer remember the

details, possibly an undocumented argument to setup.exe. I followed

their directions and it worked.

So, if you have difficulty finding a "complete" Install CD, try to

find a retired MS winME specialist and ask. There are more than a few

checking in here

Re: Win ME Disks

ok, i guess pirating is illegal and bad, and microsoft has every right to

throw a fit if someone pirates their os'es, especially ones being sold now.

but what if someone pirates somethigng like WinME? yeas, its still illegal,

but why should microsoft really care? its no longer supported or sold so no

new patches or bug fixes will be made so WinME is like a sitting duck with

holes for viruses to intrude into. its a loss for the person using it really.

theyre allowing hackers to steal their stuff. i am completely aware of this

hazard as i use WinME right now in a virtual machine, torrented.

October 5, 2008

Re: Win ME Disks

Let me get this straight. Are you suggesting that it's illegal to pirate

Microsoft XP but because Microsoft Me is no longer supported, it's alright

to pirate ????

It's like trying to rationalize that it's OK to be partially dishonest.....

To put it into perspective, it's akin to being partially pregnant!!!!!

Windows 'piracy' is meaningless pre-WPA. The only people who are concerned

about it are those who have been hypnotised by the industry into echoing

it's mantra, and those who always were unable to seperate reality from

reactionary fantasy. When you make a product absurdly simple to copy and

then insist people read some mind-numbing legal diatribe in which, if they

are that sad, they will see an appeal to give their word not to copy it, and

the product is copied willy-nilly as per universal human nature, in the hard

world of business (in which you firmly stake your patch by using the mind

numbing legal diatribe) it is your fault for being incredibly naive or

optimistic or maybe just plain lazy.

What actually matters is that, as you say, the OS is full of security holes.

It is also severely limited stability-wise (compared with XP and later).

Microsoft are not suffering by people using copied Win ME discs - because

they no longer sell it; nor are they losing out on sales of Vista because 9x

is readily available gratis, because no-one who would buy Vista would use 9x

instead 'because it is free', and no-one who would use 9x because they

prefer it has any interest in using Vista.

There are two types of 9x users. Those who can't afford any operating

system - so it's 9x or nothing (or Linux, which they probably won't

understand), and those who are interested in old, historic, versions of

operating systems. Both arguments against allowing these are - apart from

the one about making the entire internet a more insecure place for the rest

of us; but it is a fairly contrived one these days - based on greed, and

supported by a mean, rigid, bigoted, authoritarian mindset that believes in

upholding the decrees of the rich and powerful absolutely regardless of

merit (on either side).

No, you shouldn't be. Whether you will be or not is another matter, and

depends how you define 'trouble'. Just as it is human nature to pick up that

which is left unattended, it is also human nature to snitch. And lawyers are

quite a different breed anyway! But even they usually have enough

intelligence not to waste time and money on an action that has no virtue

beyond demonstrating the alleged length of their...well, you know (one

Re: Win ME Disks

ok then. big words i have trouble reading, but i still see the general

meaning of your post. (microsoft also has bigger problems like xp and vista

pirating vs some unused os too) by the way, i was downloading some stuff with

IE6 and i unchecked the box "ask what i want to do for this type of file" in

Windows ME and it gave options like open and save and so on. so now when i

try to download from that website again it automatically acts as if i want

the program to run and i have to download by right clicking, save link as...

and that gets annoying. how do i get that original box asking what i want to

do again? i repeat, this is on my Windows ME virtual machine using internet

explorer 6.

You responded to my response, not the OPs, thus telling him to try eBay

The OP asks for an "installation disk", not "installation files".

Arturo: He may have said that but it is not necessary, therefore...case in

point, Microsoft now sell Vista and Server2008 (to name but two) as

downloads. My NOD32 was purchased by download or you can pay extra for a

disc if desired, but why bother? The stated reason he asked for said "disk"

with which to accomplish implies that he is not seeking an original Win ME

cd, just the files. And if one were to be literal as opposed to intuitive

about it, one would have to suppose that he wanted something other than

optical media anyway. But probably the most pertinent fact is that I was

offering the OP a Win ME cd that comes with a key, for the price of postage

and packaging - an offer I've previously made here but had no takers for, as

well as one for a boxed copy of XP Home that I offered to webster72n for the

price of postage and packaging but he didn't take up. So when he replies to

my post, repeating the eBay advice, he is making an unmistakeable point and

that is what I responded to. I did not actually mention in my response - to

either of them - that I was going to offer to post a cd of WinME, with

product key, for the cost of shipping only, because it is not required. What

is required is for others not to jump to uncharitable conclusions.

Yes, one can buy "new" stuff on e-Bay. Meaning unopened.

I'm sure that will come as a surprise to you but the value of an

object has nothing to do with the opinion you might have of it, no

matter how "intelligent" it might be. LOL. Some museum pieces can

fetch quite a good price by the way.

Arturo: Yes, I've done the Louvre, Musee D'Orsay, Pompidon't. And used

Millennium Edition since 2000. But, you know, there's only one Mona Lisa

(not counting forgeries). And I've repaired, maintained and restored

motorcycles - mostly classic, but not entirely. The Triumph Twins are worth

a lot. Ten year old Japanese machines are comparatively worthless. That's

supply and demand for you!

And what's a "maroon"?

Arturo: My thanks go to Heirloom for answering that one! It's also where the

'Gullibull' comes from.
