XP crashed maybe half a dozen times on me in the past 5 years. Do you have adequate spyware protection, do you have a regularly scheduled AV & AS scan programed. It might be hardware related. Cerially, it's not that bad of an OS.
Now VISTA OTOH, sounds like a 3lb sack, holding 5lbs!

All three machines have anti-spyware, firewalls, and anti-viruse software. Regularly scheduled clean-up. XP crashes. Win 2K doesn't. It is the OS...not the hardware.

Agreed on that. I might have XP hang on me once a year. If someone's getting regular crashes from XP, it has little to nothing to do with some inherent OS problem.
My hope is that XP's widespread adoption keeps it as the OS standard for the next two or three years, while all of the crap on Vista is worked out and processor/RAM/video card requirements don't look so out of reach for those who want to do an upgrade.
