and there's nothing like a good linux v windows flame either might i say...

anyhoo - since i've been considered something of a computer enthusiast since about 1980.. the thread subject caught my attention immediately , considering it is posted on a RC forum.
Thus was prepared to offer opinions based on my own experiences..

I've run a large network of PC's for a number of years and i can only say fairly that 99.99% of the time when an application crashes , it's because of poor code or failing hardware..

security issues are a different matter though and thats why we have service packs I guess.
