Indeed, Grigore, THAT is impressive.

But does that alone make XP more stable than any predecessor????
I guess it is a subjective thing and so far my view is that stability is not quite as good as Win2K

cheers

But in my case, WinXP managed to do something that none of other os-es can't do it: I had a video card with deffective video memory (at that moment, I didn't know that). All Windows flavours simply crashed completely. WinXP did freeze, after 15-20 secs it restarted the computer by itself, and at the next boot it said: "It seems you have problems with your video card. It can't do directdraw operations. Usually, this is a driver problem - try to download the latest drivers for your video card. If this doesn't solve the problem, it could be a hardware problem".
