Windows XP is rock solid when configured properly. But if u have the wrong hardware it crashes every 5 minutes my friend had to downscale to windows 2000 because his counterstrike kept crashing. And that maybe just fine but i must point out windows is good for n00bs with no intention in real programming what's so ever but if your screwed, got unstable drivers or whatnot there is absolutly no diagnostics systems, logs,<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... to help you identify the problem. Although this is my opinion.
I've been using slackware exclusivly for over 4 yrs now but i don't dare giving slackware to my little sister yet. I can set it up alright but the headaches of questions like: Why can't my stupid macromedia based comic game work, why can't i install, wtf is cedega, wine,<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... let the closed source crapware that windows is, conquer her box
Don't get me wrong Unix is simple. But you first have to learn a lot of rules!
