If you haven't seen Windows XP (both the Home and Pro editions) BSOD, 
then you haven't been using it enough. We use Windows XP, 2003 and 
others at work in a controlled environment (apps must be approved etc) 
and I've seen XP and 2003 crash plenty of times, even several times  today.

Perhaps you need to stop listening to the Microsoft marketing crud so much?
