seen it twice at school, they have vista now. and I’ve only used them 3 times.
my two computers, a desktop and laptop,
my laptop -XP SP2, none
Desktop- XP SP1, 2
Desktop (after 1st reformat), XP SP2, 9 (i think its mcafee’s fault)
Desktop (after 2nd reformat), XP SP2, none so far (its been 2 years)

from what I read in the news media about vista, and my experience using it, I don’t have very high opinion about vista. I like the new style, though.

i’ve seen the blue screen of death about five times now (by the way, i have vista too). it only started happening to me within the last couple of weeks (my computer is about 6 months old) and it happens when i try to play music videos in iTunes, and it happened earlier today when i finished installing AIM and was trying to open it for the first time. i know why it usually happens (Bluescreens can be caused by poorly written device drivers, faulty memory, a corrupt registry, an incompatible Dynamic-link library (DLL), or the computer overheating)*, but i can’t figure out why it is happening to mine.

Yes, three times. Every OS does crash, but Vista in general tends to be more unstable than most other OS’s, especially XP. I used XP every day for many years without getting the blue screen of death. I switch to Vista, and within six months I get it three times.
