BTW, I'm not sure where Microsoft comes into this, except as being the first
popular OS that ran on hardware they didn't make themselves. When your PSU
is flakey and it makes your video card crash your video card driver with
spurious interrupts, somehow it's Microsoft that gets blamed.
As someone who drove college cars in college, it didn't take Microsoft to
convince me that if you have POS hardware, you're going to spend most
weekends underneath it fixing it. :-)
