Half year? As far as I remember my Windows 95 did not crashed for 5 years until
I did not changed my machine to XP which did not crashed since buying (November)
too. My WinNT4 at work did not crashed since 6 years when I recived it. IMO it's
up to hygiene of taking care about your OS, about installing new unknown
software, blind changing registers, using wrong drivers, using noname hardware
etc. etc. Alltogether I consider Windows stable for POV-Ray use. Note that I'm
software developer who needs from time to time kill applications, but it never
caused OS crash.
