The blue screen of death is success?

Most blue screens happen when windows is booting and it usually gives a decent error message.

Have you ever had a failed boot on Linux or Unix? Try solving those. A blue screen is a welcome crash. Figure out a Unix SCSI boot problem then come complain about a blue screen. Windows is easy.

no not for three years.... but hey, I almost never have to "reboot" unless I am adding a new video card or something.

last time it was so long between reboots, I had to lookup my year old password, I had forgotten it...

I have been running OS X since last Christmas--I have never had a freeze or a crash, three times I have had to force quit an application and once I have had to restart the system. It is an amazing piece of software for consumers considering the 10 years windows attacked my heart and lost my work.

That's not my experience. I usually got the death notice when I wanted to save the last of 20 changes to a project, went to do it and lost everything .
