Well, I was recommending Win2K or Win2K3, not WinXP. Secondly, for WinXP to crash (as opposed to applications running in it), it has to be really screwed up. > The only OS I've ever used that never crashed (in 2 1/2 years without > a reboot) was OS/2. I have left various NT-based versions of Windows running for months on end with no reboots except those required for updates to software or system settings. If WinXP crashes, you've probably got bad hardware or a badly hosed system. -- David W.
