Re: XP - Crashed
It depends of user. If you're a kind of user who follow the "ask specialist to install it and don't touch it ever" you could have a year of happy life without any incidents. But if you like experimentation and tweaks - you're in troubles. XP is not a geek-proof OS.
Also your hardware matters. Cheap(R) NoName(TM) hardware is the most common source of troubles on XP systems.

Re: XP - Crashed
I too have a blessed Xp Pro Version running here and I like experimentation and tweaks. No problems so far.

Ditto. I run XP Pro at home and on all my machines here at work. We have around 30 computers that are running XP Pro and we have never had a serious problem. Yes, we have had small issues, but we had even more small issues when we ran WIN2K or earlier Versions of windows.

Re: XP - Crashed
The problems I've experienced with XP Pro on my computer are due to motherboard and graphics driver issues (Asus and ATI respectively), not the OS itself.
On my old system with XP Pro, I never experienced any problems until my hard drive died.

Re: XP - Crashed
No problems with my copy either. It does live on its own partition, and gets reformatted one or two times a year.

Kill me, but I can't call it a stable OS (which needs to be reinstalled 2 times a year, that is). |

Re: XP - Crashed
Consider it maintenance. Besdides, It's a good way to remove the crap that unnistalled programs leave behind.
Never have I reformatted because XP spontaneously died. It's always been because of a hardware upgrade (new mobo, new primary hard disk) or because I've felt like it.

Cars need regular oil changes and the like. It is the nature of machines to need maintenance from time to time. Aren't computers just a machine like any other?

Re: XP - Crashed
And how much experience do you have with computers? Could it be that you qualify as an expert?

Re: XP - Crashed
I'm more of an "advanced user". If I was an expert, I'd run Linux.
