	Umm, wrong. XP still gets the BSOD.

	Now, I much prefer Ubuntu myself, but I can't complain about my Win98, 
W2K & WinXP installs over the years. Fairly solid. Crashes were rare, 
and usually because of something silly I did. Now I am a computer 
support professional myself (for 10+ years) which has a lot to do with 
the Win installs being stable. Right now I've got XP on a Thinkpad A20p, 
Inspiron 5150, and in VMWare on Win Server 2003. Not a problem on any.
