C'mon...if you've been using Windows XP for the past couple of years, you haven't seen a blue screen for a while.
And while an open-sourced OS might work in your one-off home office solution, it's another thing to use that (and keep it up-to-date) in an enterprise solution.
I've been using WIN2K and XP for several years now and have NEVER seen a blue screen.
Oh yes I have!!
BS and more BS.
I get the BSOD at LEAST once per week - often once per day. It is intermitant and other than the typical disclaimer from MS (Driver Problem), there is NO WAY to detect what is happening. It would be VERY nice if MS could at least identify WHICH driver is causing the problem(s), helps to narrow down the search just a bit.
BTW - all drivers are up to date - all cards changed, cables changed, power supply changed - all for "nothing" (except of course the $$$ and time spent trying to fix the problem - and NO, the PC shop couldn't solve it either)
SO, before you shill for MS - get a clue. People don't complain just to complain and MS's reputation is far from silver.
to the article - I have been saying for years that MS should "start from scratch" on the next OS - far too many problems in the current version(s) which have never been satisfactorily solved. If they've done this on Longhorn (or whatever it's called) GREAT!
Actually, it's even better suited for enterprises.

The maturing happened years ago.
