This is not really true in WinNT kernel (it was true with Win9x, however). AFAIK, the only way to do something like this would be to completely halt some hardware device (which is caused by bad drivers, written most often by the hardware manufacturer). This is possible in Linux as well. >Because of this, Windows hardly deserves to be called an "OS". > >My computer, when running Windows, crashes 10 times a day.

It has never once crashed because of a fault in the OS. Obviously, you must be doing something wrong for your system to crash so much. Sure, I have some problems with Microsoft - I'm not their cheerleader or anything either. Many versions of Windows sucked almost to the point of being unusable. But your anti-Microsoft rants are getting tiresome, Christophe. Peter was almost completely correct in what he said, and all you do is treat him like a moron because you can't make your own system work correctly with MS software.
