You are saying that XP is four orders of magnitude more stable than 3.1?
That means on the order of 10,000 times better.  It's not.

Or to put it another war, if 3.1 crashed, on the average, after an hour,
for each to be an  order of magnitude better than the previous,
95 would crash twice a day
98 would crash twice a week
2000 would crash 5 times a year
and XP would stay up for two years
