I have now used XP since it arrived on the market. I can not remember having
crashed the OS one time! Even if I have installed a lot of different hardware
like a new processor, new memory, different video cards and a lot of software of
various quality. I have hung programs several times and XP has just stopped the
aplication without any fuss. Thats quite another story than at my work where my
PC still has that bad old Win 98 running.

My feeling is that XP is as stable, (or better) as any other OS out there. The
only bad side I see is that I have had to pay for it!
