Really, do you have any references for that fact or did you just make it up?
I only ask because it is the complete opposite of my experience of several
computers using XP (and I guess most of the other half million beta
testers). It's also odd that Wikipedia doesn't list "instability" anywhere
when talking about XP:

You'd think if early releases were "legendary" for crashing it would be
mentioned somewhere? In fact all I could find were references to how stable
it was.

Of course a new OS should be fully tested with all the existing software
before being rolled out, that's different to the core OS being unstable and
crashing though. Wasn't XP based on the NT core?
