I'm not sure I'd consider Windows Me to be very experimental, except perhaps an experiment in sadism...
However I do love that its Wikipedia article includes the sentence "Retrospectively, Windows Me is viewed as one of the worst operating systems of all time".
Me was very experimental with the audio/video processing pipelines and playback capabilities. Many of those were ported over to the XP.
That being said, even people at the time knew it was mostly a half-hearted experiment and wondered why Microsoft was even moved forward with it. So you're not wrong.
