    Is Me considered as 2000 or 98

    If I'm downloading virus signature files and it has it for Win95/98 and Win NT/2000/XP and if I'm running with Win Me do I pick Win 2000?

    thx in advance.

    WinMe is actually Win98 with a couple of enhancements.

    Upgrade path:

    Windows 98 > Windows ME > XP Home
    Windows NT Workstation 4.0 > Windows 2000 Pro > XP Pro

    Windows 95, 98 and Me are all DOS-based operating systems, (i.e., they are running on top of MS-DOS).

    Windows NT, 2000 and XP are all NT-based, (i.e., a complete rewrite, [with an included DOS emulator]).
