That is if Microsoft really stumbles with XP which it might,

And how exactly is that going to happen?

Let's leave anti-microsoft propaganda aside and recall that XP is the third release of Windows NT. OS'es get more stable with time, not less. Sure, bugs will be found, just like we found bugs on linux or OS X (reformatted drive any one?). The bugs will be fixed and M$ will live to fight another day.

From past history, M$ only stumbles at the beginning of a product cycle, and once they reach their stride they are a steamroller. Their big screwup with NT was called OS/2. They learned from that, and by the time they released NT 3.0 it was already a very decent product, NT 4.0, Win2k and WinXP are progressively better.
