"It is easy to blame Microsoft simply because the OS is the component of the system that has to detect failures and display blue screens."

What makes it easier to blame Microsoft is that we are dual booting with Linux. Under Linux, even when it is running Win4Lin, we don't have problems. When we were using WinNT4 on the other partition, it would hang about once a day. Under Win2k, less often. Under Linux, never. Now this does not counter you statement that changing the hardware might reduce, or even eliminate the problem. But the Microsoft products seem to have some problems with hardware that Linux does not. If Microsoft would port WinCE Platform Builder to Linux, all of our problems would be solved...
