Re: Just a point
You're right, a better OS is more fault tolerant. WinXP does not crash if a program thats running screws up big time. WinXP can even detect registry conflicts between two programs before installing software, which I think is incredible.
I still think that there must be someone out there who would be able of crashing XP though, I mean, stupidity is an infinite resource. Oh well

Re: Just a point
Actually, each bit is about 5 or 7 transistors, I can't remember which. The circuit for one bit is called a J/K flip-flop.
And 256 megs RAM seems to make Windows 98SE mostly stable.

Re: Just a point
I can answer this question. Windows is a fine home OS, the problem Microsoft got into with many IT folks is when they brought out NT (which is mostly stolen VMS and Unix stuff anyway) and "claimed" it was an enterprise level OS.
The problem is NT is a joke for running a server on. It isn't stable, it doesn't handle memory well, and I could go on and on.....

Was running 4.0 and I cried in my sleep nightly because I was rebooting twice a day.

Emphasis on "seems."

Re: Just a point
Well, I have never used NT before, but the guy who owns his own computer business uses Win2k exclusively on his machines. I can tell you that Win2k is pretty dang good from personal use.
I swear I should go into business working on computers because I could fleece these poor ignorant people. (Hey, computers are easy man!)

Re: Just a point
Win2k is a damn fine program once you get it up and running for a while. Honestly it has been my misfortune to discover that Win2k desires a "break in" period before it will run smoothly.
98 and 98 SE were good programs in there own right if you didn't mind the BSOD every 12 hours of continous operation. 
Win2k has performed very well for me, and I have spent a lot of time getting it to work well with my AMD Atholon. (NOTE: I even used up both of my free MS help sessions to get it too work smoothly. Simple stuff that took about 4 hours apeace to fix.)
Right now, I am considering XP. I thought I would wait until I needed to build my next super system before venturing into XP territory.
