The latest version in the Windows 9x line is
Windows Millennium Edition, first available in September 2000.16
The interface has a new softer look and feel, and is greatly simplified
for the benefit of users who are unfamiliar with Windows or computers in
general. Among Windows ME's features are built-in video editing, digital
camera utilities, integrated support for digital music, a System Restore
feature, and simplified home network setup. The video editing features
allow the user to copy video from a camcorder to the computer and splice
scenes, add graphics, or add additional sounds. Images from digital
cameras can also be easily imported to the computer and stored,
organized, or distributed. Windows ME's digital music support allows
music to be pulled from CDs and other sources, then archived and
indexed. System Restore allows the user to bring the system back to its
original configuration if anything goes wrong, a task which usually
requires a complete reinstall of the operating system in earlier
versions of Windows. The ability to easily set up a home network lets
people with limited computer knowledge to join the growing number of
households that benefit from home networks, which allow file and printer
sharing, network gaming, a shared Internet connection, and more.19
