WindowsXP is certainly a lot more stable than Win9x versions - but then that really isn't difficult is it?

. Regarding "best windows version" Well that would depend on what you are using it for (server/desktop).

uhh... all OSes suck serious ass.

I haven't been satisfied with an OS since DOS.

WinXP is the closest I've been to satisfied. There were a few blue screens with XP that some people had, but they are very fixable and identifiable.

I haven't used Macs extensively in a few years, but they weren't "rock solid" like many people claim them to be.

Stupid people running MS OSes = crashes.
Stupid people running Mac OSes = crashes.

If you are smart enough your OS will almost never crash regardless of what OS you are running.

Also: never mix program crashes with OS crashes.

DOS was good in it's day. Now I couldn't stand to use it since I am used to stuff like tab-completion and stuff when using commandline.

I don't think that anyone was doubting stability of WindowsXP, but earlier Windows and Mac OS's were certainly not stable enough. Yes, I like to configure things and play around rather than stick with defaults, but I am not stupid.

If the OS your office chooses to give you in a work environment is a windows 9x machine then no amount of intelligence will enable you to fix it to run stable AND get serious work done. Running resource meter avoids a lot of screw ups and God knows why that isn't automatically run on every default install

And obviously avoiding the awful IE helps avoid crashes too. While an IE crash may be a application crash, because of the way it's integrated it quite often takes the OS down with it.

it would crash more if you'd switch it on more than twice

I have yet to experience Mac OS X crashing!!!!

Yes, applications crash, but not the OS.

P.s.

Mac OS 7 p0wned, Mac OS 8 P0wned more, Mac OS 9 sucked ass, OS X p0wns again
And the only application i have had repeated trouble with crashes on OS X??? = Microsoft Internet Explorer
