That depends on what the article's use of the much-overloaded term
"crashed computers" -actually- means here. It is unclear (and I have
never seen clarification) as to whether this was a BSOD or just an app
crash that propagated to the other apps on the network.
NT did have many bugs. Whether it was at fault in this case may never
be known. (by us)

Can this end now ?
yea, that's the story - it's a shame too. A truely reliable OS
doesn't let any kind of user app bring down the whole system/network/
etc - Microsoft's excuse is purely irresponsible.
Heaven forbid they ever use it on a fighter jet or spacecraft. I
would seriously doubt that a windows os would pass any of the
regression tests used in aerospace systems.
I seriously doubt -any- off-the-shelf OS would without serious
modifications.

Oh and be forewarned, if your flying to LA - I wonder
how the FAA
managed to avoid regression tests for the ATC system on these
windows servers
Can you say "grease the palm"
