Why move to Windows Me? Because of the new things it lets you do. We've boiled down all the cool features into the top ten things you now can do with Windows Me.
Import and edit your home movies
Put yourself in the director's chair. Import and edit video from your
analog or digital camcorder. Then splice scenes easily or add
graphics, narration, and musical scores. When you're done, Windows
Movie Maker helps you share your creation with friends and family via
e-mail or on a Web site.
Move your photo collection from a shoebox to the Web
Working with photos in Windows Me is a snap. As soon as you connect
your digital camera to your computer, Windows Me displays a helpful
wizard that makes it easy to import and store your digital images.
Then use the new "My Pictures" folder to browse thumbnails
of your photos, enlarge them to show more detail, or even arrange the
images in a slide show. Whatever you eventually create, you can share
in
Archive and index your favorite music
Windows Me offers the first fully integrated digital media experience,
giving you the power to create and index a library of CD-quality audio

also makes it easy for you to watch and listen to streaming multimedia
content, including a vast catalog of Internet radio stations. You can
customize your listening experience by choosing visualizations that
move in rhythm with the music, or by changing the player's appearance
by assigning it a new "skin."
Protect your critical files

altered, either by accident or by a malicious virus or rogue
application.
