I I think that Windows ME had USB 2 at launch.
That would have been impossible.
Windows 2000 RTM date was December 15, 1999.
Windows Me RTM date was June 19, 2000.
Windows XP RTM date was August 24, 2001.
The Intel Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) specification revision
1.0 is dated March 12, 2002, almost 2 years after Windows Me RTM.
Windows XP SP1 was released on September 9, 2002, which was the first time
Microsoft released any USB 2.0 support.
Windows 2000 SP4 was released on June 26, 2003, which is when Microsoft
released USB 2.0 support ported back to Windows 2000.
At that point in time Windows Me was essentially dead and had been for a
while. No one at Microsoft was interested in the effort required to port
USB 2.0 support back to Windows Me.
