Edition on Compaq Armada
E700, M700, E500, V300, and

Abstract:
To enhance the experience of home computer users,
Microsoft launched Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me) in
September of 2000. This operating system provides enhancements
geared towards improving functionality in the areas of PC health,
digital media, home networking and the online experience. The focus
of Windows Me is on the home user.
Customers who prefer an operating system designed for the
corporate environment should evaluate Microsoft Windows 2000,
which provides a level of stability and security that is well suited for
the demands of a corporate user.
With enhanced ease of use,
management, and security, the total cost of ownership (TCO)
benefits of Windows 2000 outweigh those of other operating
systems.
For customers who have standardized on a previously released
Microsoft operating systems, Compaq will continue to offer
Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Windows 95, and Windows 98SE
preinstalled on select Armada models.
Compaq has performed testing in order to provide information for
those customers who wish to install this unsupported operating
system.
This white paper provides a list of software drivers and utilities that
have been tested with Windows Me on Compaq Notebook 100 and
Armada M300, V300, E500, E700 and M700 Computers. Anomalies
that have been observed after upgrading to Windows Me are also
documented. This paper does not cover issues that have been
documented in the Microsoft readme.txt files and FAQs on the
Windows Millennium Edition CD or on the Microsoft Web site at
and
This document is intended for Compaq personnel and customers
needing information on installing Microsoft Windows Millennium
Edition and applicable Compaq value-added drivers and applications
on selected Compaq Armada portable products.
