XP basically required all new drivers while ME used Win98 drivers. Your statement that the only way to fix ME was to upgrade to XP is just silly; much of the hardware that would run fine on ME never had XP drivers made available.
I am sorry that you had such a difficult time with ME. Personally I continued to run Win98 SE on most of my machines because I was into video capture and editing at the time and needed to squeeze the most out of my hardware. I did buy a copy however and I also worked on many machines which had it installed. ME was the last of the hybrid 16bit/32bit operating systems. I had no real issues with it. Windows 2000 came out shortly afterwards and then XP... so of course Microsoft basically cut development off before all of the bugs were worked out. I don't know about MS Paint... but I had no issues running Photoshop on ME. My feeling has always been that it was a much maligned OS. But it is all ancient history now.

Yes photoshop ran fine..Paint did not
...its kinda a mental trauma with me an ME >.> lol anyways...

I did find out that at the end of the month Sprint is going to be tacking an additional $10 to every new smart phone added to your account. These are defined as “a device that supports a robust operating system including: Android, BlackBerry, Instinct, Palm and Windows Mobile.” I am very glad my two TP2s will be here before the end of the month. I think I will go ahead and keep my PPC-6700 active and dump my A-900 and A-920 phones.
"For those of you that already have 3G phones on the Sprint network, fret not (or at least not yet), as you won’t be dinged with the new charge unless you either upgrade your existing smartphone or activate a new smartphone on your existing account. If and when you do decide to upgrade or change your plan, however, even those of you that aren’t packing the latest 4G phones will still have to pony up another $10 bucks a month."

I do not think these premium data plans are ment for old plans...because if they allow premium data plans on old lines then people would be able to get new phones on old plans...which Sprint does not want either...hence I don't think old plans will be effected by the $10 fee smartphone or not...(Then again only option for smartphone is windows mobile lol)
