I don’t recall where I originally read the joke but I spent years - unsuccessfully - trying to find it again. The version I read followed it up with something like “hard as a rock, dumb as a brick.”
Windows CE was for embedded systems and it was the most horrific crock of shit ever. Which didn’t stop them from producing a couple of billion devices with it, of course.
Around that time, wasn’t there something called WindowsME, which I think stood for MicroEdition? And CE, not sure what that stood for.
There was a meme making rounds back then that with the combined powers of Windows ME, CE, and NT, you get Windows CEMENT.
There was also a joke about it being sluggish or something there. I forget.
You are the only other person I’ve encountered who knows of this joke, so I now declare us friends.
I think we have no choice but to be friends, now. I’m frankly amazed to run into someone else online who’d heard that joke
I am prepared for impending friendship.

ME stands for “Millennium Edition”, or sometimes more accurately “Many Errors”
ME stood for Millenium Edition , the successor of win 98. CE was the embedded windows.
ME was more like the sucks asser version to Windows 98.
Definitely not disagreeing with you there.
