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. * ? armatures ?
