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.
