Re: Windows BSOD vs. AS/400

Mark,


I think that Pascal has a point. The only problems that I've had with my W2K
installation were all related to buggy hardware drivers provided by
third-party manufacturers. What would the impact be to OS/400's reliability
if there were hundreds of vendors digging into the microcode to write
drivers for their hardware? Perhaps we'd be seeing a lot more SRC's on the
front panel.

 Huh???  Windows is *definitely* made for Intel (among others) based
systems.  Your argument is flawed.
