jeez... and thats just the ones with automatic internet reporting...

 

[Muck]

Anyone else think that faulty HARDWARE could be to blame in any of these cases??

Also, this was written by "The Mac Observer". No bias there.

 

[Lorax]

to be honest, since winxp, my system has been running pretty nice.

 

[BD231]

Windows is pretty solid, parts and their drivers are what cause the headaches I find.

hmm that... but i think most of it is dumbass users that install so much crappy software that it drags the system down to it's knees. i just cringe when i see the system tray of some people....

Exactly. How many people who actually know what they're doing have these problems? Excluding hardware changes and software installs that requires it I never have to reboot or have my rig crash. Knock on wood of course

why do i have to restart every time i install a piece of software. seems archaic.

 

[Electric Amish]

That seems pretty good to me.

I have honestly never had a problem with windows XP - it's almost perfect

 

[newbiepcuser]

Which Windows are they talking, that does include Windows ME, 9.X, etc?


There are more windows users of course the numbers will be higher than other OSes


Statics can be twisted in any way you want to be in favor or disfavor.

same here, except from an occassional program that really freaks badly.

I have no problems at all with win xp. A lot of my friends have problems but then they skimp on the hardware and buy no name stuff.
