Re: "I blame the instability problems I have had with my systems at work on Microsoft instead of their pure Intel architecture. Are you saying I am wrong? "

No - not necessarily.

Microsoft's older Windows OS's (3.0/3.1/95/98/ME) have various stability difficulties . No argument there.

Now - when you take Microsofts Windows 2000 or XP OS's - and run the same OS on two different systems with the SAME graphics card and the Same hard disk - and One system is rock solid and the other has instability problems, then something OTHER than the OS is to blame.

Quite frankly, I blame the instability problems I have had with my systems at work on Microsoft instead of their pure Intel architecture. Are you saying I am wrong?

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. To be fair, the majority of blue screens I see are generally resolved by changing the hardware not the software.
