You should not even be using Windows Me with such security/privacy/anonymity in mind.  The main reason being M$ stopped supporting it back in June i believe.  There are probably 20 vulnerabilities in it since then that have not been patched.  Not to mention it was a relatively crappy OS to begin with.  UNIX aside, you should at least upgrade to Windows 2000 if you have old hardware and are concerned about "sluggish" behavior.  No need to defend your choice, becuase i will not listen nor argue ;)  just my $.02
