I must second that.
I have several Win2K boxen
here whose only reason for being rebooted every few months is robbing
harddrives or CD drives.
Um, or for redoing power lines/ups maint. Like I had to
shut down the
lot here this weekend, because of ups/power maint in my machine room.
I use Windows pretty hard, with a fairly constant set
of software (mapping,
CAD software, IE, ProComm, CD ripping, a few other things), and I don't get
BSODs or crashes.
Likewise. Fucked-up drivers are sometimes an issue, especially
those
for network, sound and video, but if you're careful with those, no real
BSOD-ish situations.
Like pencil and paper.
Pencils tend to break
their tips, at least when I use them. Duh.
Does that count as a bug? ;)
Cheers,
