Least secure OS? Linux! by Bealz2006-11-19 12:55:59
  It's suprising.. by Khaar2003-01-13 15:06:29
    I take offence to that. by caffine-iv 2003-01-13 15:14:44
Several times (tho not on todays main board, tho I do recall it in my diary somewhere) I've stated that Windows is infact stable, it's just hte user that screws it up or the manufactoer that chose bad parts that makes it screw up.

Windows is picky about it's hardware, just like Linux is. But Linux either supports hardware or it doesn't, not a halfway inbetween.

_ALL_ computers, regardless of OS, react to heat which is what kills most typical computers. Compaqs, HP's, Gateways, and Dell's all have issues with an insufficient power supply and not enough fans sitting inside a really super small case.

Heat = Electrical resistance = more heat = more resistance = IC's generate bad data = corrupt data being sent over the bus

Some IC's rely on the powered state of a line for a signal. Whether it be 3.3v or 5v. If the resistance brings a 5v line down to within the IC's tolerance for hte 3.3v line, you get corrupt data.
