"Ubuntu takes on XP in the gadget arena"

[Robert Stoffers]

Derek,

It is pretty naive of you to claim that you "see no sign that _anybody_ 
is suffering BSODs on XP Pro", especially considering several people on 
this list have already given you examples it happening. In my case I 
look after thousands of XP Pro computers and see it on a daily basis, 
you have just chosen to disregard each person who mentions it.

Your claim is so ludicrous that it could be easily ripped right out of a 
Microsoft marketing textbook. Windows XP Pro, especially with SP2, 
crashes just as much as NT ever has. I would be happy to eat my own 
words if you provide me with proof to the contrary (I know this won't 
happen as I have seen it for my own eyes).

Now despite what some might think I'm in no way claiming that any OS is 
without its faults. I've seen Linux, Solaris and plenty of other 
operating systems crash and have problems too. What I am saying is 
please don't fill my inbox with Microsoft marketing-style dribble, if I 
want that I'll visit microsoft.com.
