That is totally wrong, I have heard others say that as well. I bought a
new computer with
ME pre-installed and it DOES have a DOS prompt. It is, by default, in
Start -> Programs ->
Acessories, not in the main Programs list like previous versions of
Windows. The one thing
you can NOT do in ME or any new versions of Windows is boot to DOS (by
hitting F8 or by
"Reboot to DOS" when you shut down).

Just wanted to clear that up :)
