Windows Millennium Edition is, rather, a way to extend the Windows 9x line on more year so that Microsoft can increase its revenue stream by releasing yet another version of Windows while it waits for Whistler (a future Consumer Windows based on Windows 2000) to come together.
Actually, Windows Me does support Hibernate, which allows you to save the contents of RAM to the hard drive and then recover it all when the system comes out of hibernation: This allows you to leave programs running and then have them return to normal when the system comes back up.
