Windows crashes the olympics!

[Kintaro]

It's been long enough since we've had a classic BSOD.

Best BSOD ever

[Kintaro]

If they used Vista they would be red, which would be in China's spirit wouldn't it?

[SiMuLaCrUm]

True it would be.

Thing is from personal experience: Vista never crashes.

Are you fucking high?

Not that Vista is as buggy as people may think, but I've had my fair share of BSoDs. Heck, a lot more than I had with XP. The only reason I keep it is because I'm too lazy to hunt down XP drivers for my hardware.

I'm using Vista and it is fine. Learn to use your computer properly, and XP hardly crashes.

I'm sure you wouldn't mind elaborating on that.  It's a pretty bold statement that requires a bit of clarification.

[SiMuLaCrUm]

Actually, he is somewhat right. If you maintain the system it will run rather smooth. With XP at least. I don't know about Vista.

Lol, that image is a classic.

As for Windows and crashing - as long as you format / reinstall once every month or so, I agree Windows can run smoothly.

[Kintaro]

You people really need some computer skills if you need to reinstall that often.

Again, be specific - what skills are "they" lacking?  And when I say "they", I mean the large number of Windows users, in home, business, and education settings, who experience Windows component crashes, Windows system crashes, and/or general program crashes due to faulty system calls on a fairly regular basis (10+ times per year).

I'm not sure, but I assume: knowledge of maintenance, and knowledge of shitty software. If Linux supported installing most third party software it would have the exact same problem after you download all the shit from Download.com

[worker201]

Oh, master, please tell me which software is shitty, and which software is good, and how to tell the difference between them with a level of consistency that will have a positive effect on my overall uptime.

[Kintaro]

If it says "FREE" its probably shitty.
