Oh, so you admit that the BSOD if basically a legend of old. Thanks.
Just because Win comes stock set to reboot on BSOD doesn't mean it isn't there. And a restart-loop on fault isn't any better, and is often worse, as one cannot get an error code.
And BSOD stops are still quite common if Win fails in the boot process before the reg is fully loaded, and on driver/hardware failures.
So yes, folks still know the BSOD.
Nope, not admitting that at all.It was never a "legend" but is, and remains to this day, a fact. It happens more frequently with new releases, sometimes it is never fixed satisfactorily, as in the case of ME and Vista. I was with a friend 3 days ago, running Vista, the blue screen came up 3 times, and the system eventually crapped out on him altogether. He now runs XP on it(this was a brand new machine BTW that was supposedly made to run Vista), after downloading XP drivers from the web. No blue screen yet and as he has service pack 2 it will probably not happen for a long time, I think it will happen eventually.
MS simply does not take enough time before they release a new version of any product, especially any of their OS. They didn't need to bring out Vista, XP is good enough with the service packs installed, in fact, if 98SE found drivers as well as XP I would still be running it.
Once again, your claim for only ONE blue screen in 10 years is simply not believable, period.
