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.

Microsoft probably say this for every new MS. However, WinME
is commonly regarded as a minor upgrade and also as a lame duck.
I suspect that Microsoft would prefer to forget it.

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

Agreed, but the OP suggested that Windows ME was built on
Windows 2000, which is clearly not the case.
