What Windoze does which really annoys me is not so much crash as hang.
If you even do so much as click on two different buttons in quick
succession, the computer can lock up for about a minute.

Oh, and have you ever noticed how they get slower with age?  A five year
old PC can easily take five minutes just to show a start button, and at
least another two after that to recognise clicks on it.  On the other
hand, my twelve year old Acorn RiscPC boots up much faster than some
newer computers, and never has problems with system overloading.

Sure, Windows might not be too unstable any more, but that doesn't make
it a sensible choice.
