I completely disagree.



The
good news is that you can cope by shutting down or reboot once a day


I *never* do that--not unless an update requires it,Â* or I am going
away on vacation. And Windows remains completely stable.



Plus computers are like car tires, the longer you use them, the quicker
they wear out.



I completely disagree with that too.

Hi Ken and Rene,

This the only place I find anyone who thinks Windows
is stable.

If you guys are not being tech evangelists (fan boys) and
are actually being honest, it is a good thing that your experience
if different than mine. Means there is hope for Windows.




I am anything but an evangelist. Microsoft does some things very
well, and other things terribly. I am simply reporting my experience
with my computers, my wife's computer, and several others I support.

People who find Windows to be unstable invariably either have flaky
hardware, are infected with malware, or have made bad mistakes in
setting up and configuring it.




Also keep in mind that I only get called when things go
wrong. And, glossing over quality issues in Windows
does not serve my customers well.



That's like hanging around a transmission shop and thinking that all
cars have transmission problems.



Rather than smothering my customers with M$ marketing bull
s***, I try to coach folks in the direction as to what will
make Windows more stable. Actually shutting the damned
thing off at night is a good start.



Once again, I completely disagree. I'll repeat what I said: "I *never*
do that--not unless an update requires it, or I am going
away on vacation. And Windows remains completely stable."
