An official slightly off topic anouncement

I beg to differ on the issue of XP rarely crashing.  Back when I ran XP
it would die at least 3 times a week.  And with XP you don't get a BSOD.
It just reboots for no apparent reason before you ever know there's
anything wrong.  So you can forget coming out of the blue screen, saving
your work and rebooting.  It just doesn't happen.  And yes I did have
all the latest antivirus and antispyware stuff and boy did it hog system
resources.  Not to mention the fact that JAWS brought what was at that
time a fairly high-end system to a slow crawl after only a few hours of
use.  Yeah, I saw the propaganda on TV about XP being more stable than
95/98/me, but I guess stability is relative, since 3 to 5 crashes a week
is technically more stable than 2 to 3 crashes a day.
