Jerry , Thats one of my gripes with M$ , you allways end up spending money to upgrade to a new version thats suposed to be more stable . Its like the hamster on the wire treadmill that keeps running but gets no where. Whats interesting is that its still broke and unstable. I have had suse 7.1 running for little over a week now , and it is SUPERB and has continued its ROCK SOLID tradition. It looks so good to me that It is now a real alteriative for the desktop , and it installed like a champ on my systems.
I had to upgrade to Win2000 at work because of the frequency of crashes in Win98SE. It's been about 6 weeks. Win2000 crashes a LOT LESS than Win98SE, and seems to phantom reboot a lot more. I discovered a crash counter in the Register and the value was set at 10. I stopped keeping track of the counts after a half-dozen, but I knew there had to be more than ten. Then I discovered another registry entry - Crashcounter limit, which was also set to ten. I guess if you have more than 10 crashes they don't want to know about it. But, Win2000 is a lot more stable than Win98SE, for sure.
