I have used MS stuff for years, and 2K/XP have been incredibly stable. Particularly XP, I have not had a software problem with it - any problems have been hardware related. I have installed and am using Linux mostly out of a need to explore and learn new things, and secondarily because I was ticked off about having to "activate" windows after a motherboard upgrade. Linux and Linux apps are great packages, I have been quite impressed with the applications available, but they crash occasionally. Microsoft's problems are not really BSODs anymore, other stuff sure, but not that.
