Re: XP - Crashed
I am always hearing about how awful and destructive XP is. It has never given me any problems. Do I have a blessed Version of XP or something? Could it have something to do with keeping it on it's own partition and wiping the C drive twice a year? That was an old habit from 98SE. Is there a major difference between the Home and Professional Versions or something?

XP Pro = garbage heap, XP Home = cesspool. So in summation, yes, there is. 
And yes, you have a blessed Version. A separate partition/drive just for the OS is a very, very wise practice for any OS, really. |

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
And how much experience do you have with computers? Could it be that you qualify as an expert?
