I NEVER thought I'd be on this side (praising Microsoft - sort of) but I've have
been running NT (on a NOTEBOOK no less !!) for 4 months and there is NO WAY, 
from
what I have seen, that Win 3.11 is more dependable/less crashes - and I'm the

who opens up TONS of stuff and (actually uses everything). I think my NT 
machine has
locked up or crashed MAYBE twice in that time. My Win 3.11 PC did that at LEAST 
once
every other day !!!
