"XP, XP, XP"

Everyone. I'd just like to use this opportunity to boast a bit. You see, today I received my XP equipped PC, and it's bloody amazing. As I can now run Office (XP, of course) on this beauty, I'm be more able to write longer topics from now on, so there'll be less of this spamming you've seen from me recently. Who knows, maybe I can start winning GAD again. Anyway, I'll make a topic up as soon as I get used to this MS Natural Keyboard.

This is definitely not true, because he didn't say it. He said that it wouldn't crash as much. The old Windows were based on DOS, yes, which is dodgy at best and downright crap at worst.Therefore, crashes happen. WinXP, like NT and 2000, are based on the NT kernel (a kernel is basically the main part of it) and crashed are much less frequent but they still do happen. The main problem in Windows is, if one program crashes it tends to bring the others down as well. NT seperates and isolates programs so this doesn't happen as much. The NT kernel is not perfect and will still crash, just much less often. However, the NT kernel is nowhere near as stable as most Linux kernels.

I saw Bill gates saying Windows XP wont crash. is dis true? and somthin about not using dos anymore?

DO you mean that Windows XP is for dummies? THis isn't true, to be honest. It's much more stable (ahem), runs faster and the user interface is much friendlier.
