I'm trying to remember the last time I saw a BSOD.

It has been more than ten years ...

And yes, I'm using Windows (XP/Vista/7/8).

I got one just the other day when one application clobbered another in memory on my Windows 8.1 pc.

Granted, it's a rather old app that I use as part of my amateur radio hobby so I don't blame that on Windows.

Since then I virtualized the app into a VM running Windows XP under VMWare. Since that application doesn't need internet access, I also disabled the NIC under VMWare for that Windows XP VM. problem solved.

Same here, and I don’t ever remember what the BSOD looks like anymore.
