When people say that Windows is crash-prone, and/or often requires
reinstallation, I have to wonder what's going on. I've worked many
jobs at Microsoft, and have never seen this. I can only assume it's
due to some sort of user error, or badly written drivers.

Were you working there when Bill Gates was using OS/2 on his own
desktop?

I was there during the period of OS/2's brief popularity.

Was OS/2 particularly crash prone, or are you referring to the fact that
it needed the Presentation Manager for a graphic interface?

I'm saying that Gates used OS/2 for his own WindowsNT, which was not as
stable as the original. I still use OS/2, and have never had any but
minor problems. I also run the new version, called eComStation.
