>>>For thirty years there have been immortal words from Microsoft whenever you experience a problem with your computer: “Reboot”! One term I have not heard for a while is, “Blue Screen of Death”!

they renamed it :-)

I just installed Windows 8 on a new partition.
a couple of weeks later i found the machine with a blue screen one morning. it complained about a disk error. the repair routine fails every time.

I'll have to reformat and reinstall windows 8 and office 2013 all over....

>>I can honestly say that since Windows Vista, I have only gotten BSODs when there have been real hardware errors. I don't think I've ever seen one in Win7, 32-bit or 64-bit.

>>I wonder if it lends credence to the idea that given enough time on a system receiving continuous development from a multi-$100 billion coroporation, eventually all of the common bugs really will be fixed. :-)
