Microsoft issued the Windows ME operating system. What was the impact of this 'rush to market' software product on users and Microsoft's reputation?

The answer is below

Explanation:

Windows ME which originally meant Windows Millennium Edition. It was released in 2000. However, due to its poor functionality and efficiency, it appeared like it was rushed on the part of Microsoft to release the latest Operating System at the time. This led to some impacts on both the users and Microsoft.

1. On the Users' part: it was considered the most hated edition. Some even renamed it "Windows Mistake Edition." Users quickly dumped it for a later edition of Microsoft OS which was "Windows XP."

2. On Microsoft's part: it badly affected their reputation in the market at that period. It was the launch of Windows XP and later window 7 that revived the good reputation of Microsoft going forward.
