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 It's simply not true - Windows has many known, unfixed errors that'll b0rk it without third party help. Like the integer time overflow in 98 that'll kill it after a few days continous uptime. Not all Windows crashes come down to hardware faults and third party applications. It's NOT "all in the hardware".
Now, Windows can be fairly stable if looked after (and on good hardware), yes. I have three 'stable' Windows machines.
And, of course, the need to do sensible things with Windows boxes (rather than just bash all "Next>" and "OK" prompts you see) destroy's Bealz's "shoot self in foot" argument quite merrily. |
