Hi,
My laptop crashed today, while my 103 pages long document
was open. Foolishly I've kept the laptop running for days
without giving it a proper shutdown.
This is one example of why people should move away from
Windows to Linux. You don't have to worry about it
crashing if you don't reboot frequently. The computer I'm
typing this on is my main desktop system which, as of now,
has been up for 202 days, 17 hours and 55 minutes. That
occasion, almost 7 months ago, was when I shut it down
while making some changes with my UPS. Other than hardware
issues, the only time a Linux box has to be rebooted is
when the kernel is updated. In the more that 10 years I've
been running Linux, I don't recall it ever crashing.
I don't disagree with you, nor do I see any benefit to the OP's
situation by that little bit of bragging.

The point of my message was to show a way to avoid such problems in the
future. Crashing, such as he experienced, is a "feature" of Windows.
We have an unfortunate situation where the majority of computer users
think that crashes, viruses etc., are a normal part of computer use,
simply because they have no experience with anything other than
Windows. Is it not better to avoid problems than continually trying to
fix them??? The best way to avoid the problems that frequently
interfere with computer use is to avoid using Windows.
