So, suddenly windows runs stable, just because they support x86 only ?  
 Well NT on Alpha was significantly more stable than NT on Intel mainly 
 because there were only a limited number of supported (or even available) 
 configurations. What amazes me about Windows is not that it crashes often 
 but that it runs at all given the mix of hardware that it attempts to support. 
  The BSDs and Linux support tons of hardware too...and they're more
stable than windows will ever be.

  I think the simple fact remains...windows just sucks.
