You are talking to Adam Not So Bright. Its amusing these guys keep
complaining about crashes but Ive had XP for about 6 years and no crashes,
Vista about a year and no crashes. Nice.


Did I miss some "logic" in that silly comment? No, just another patsy
that doesn't have a clue. Let me explain the facts of life to the
armatures here one more time in simple terms maybe they can
understand.

How often one might expect to see Windows "crash" is proportional to
what you use your computer for. An analogy would be you wouldn't
expect your car to have a major mechanical breakdown if all you did
was drive it up and down your driveway once a week. However if you're
trying to tow a two ton boat and trailer up a steep hill for miles
every weekend then something breaking down is far more likely to
happen.

It is obvious from reading many of the posts here that a lot of people
merely "play" with their computer. That's like driving that car back
and forth on your driveway. Of course just surfing the web, reading
email, maybe writing some short document or crunching some numbers in
a spreadsheet isn't stressful to your computer or Windows so expecting
it to see crashes under those circumstances would be silly and yes if
that's all I did I wouldn't expect Windows to crash for years either.

On the other hand some of us actually WORK with our computers
stressing it to the limit like that car straining to pull that boat
and trailer up a steep hill for mile after mile. The chances of
Windows crashing when it is running under heavy load increases the
likelihood something will hang, stop working or the system just
getting sluggish.

HUH? WTF?
