Windows Me Goes Gold

Microsoft has sent word that Windows Millennium Edition was officially released to manufacturing today. "By focusing principally on the needs of the home user, we were able to create a more simplified PC experience for first-time users while enhancing existing users' experiences by enabling new home-computing scenarios," the company wrote in a press release. Although some testers were still having problems with the last round of betas, Microsoft dubbed build 3000.2 golden and code-complete. Beta testers will receive CDs shortly, although the release will hit retail shelves on September 14th for the same price as Windows 98. What do you think, was Windows Me ready?
