I would be curious as to the point as well...
I am not sure if all of your corrections (or some of the original
assertions) are correct, however. ;-)
The original assertions could be wrong due to it possibly being a copy from
a long past article/campaign.

Okay - but I don't see the problem with the statement given, even with your
additions. ;-) Microsoft may well have said it was the most important
release since Windows 95. I recall being at one of the release evens - and
strangely - although Windows 95/98 and even Windows 2000 was mentioned and
showed side-by-side with Windows XP... Windows ME was hardly mentioned... In
fact - I remember more mentions of XBOX than Windows ME.

Windows XP *is* built Windows NT kernel and architecture... Which is also
what Windows 2000 is built on.

*shrug* That is actually more of an opinion. Windows ME is an abomination
in mine.
