I would not compare Windows 8.1 with WinME. ME was a disaster as it had comparability issues. Someone I used to know back them was a beta tester and said that the gold release (last beta before final release) was more compatible then the release. At least Windows 8.1 was compatible even though the desktop was lousy and needed help (Classic Start Menu).
