| current | 16:26, 23 March 2023 | | 512 × 384 (30 KB) | Wilsontulus5 (talk | contribs) | New screenshot of Windows ME taken at an average early 2000's computer monitor resolution (1024x768) then downscaled 2x to 512x384 using GIMP bicubic method to preserve most details. No third party programs and updates were installed, so the screenshot is purely the first user experience after the clean installation apart from the drivers. |
