Depends. I clicked a certain option in Outlook and bang! - BSOD. I tried it
again, and again I got the BSOD. And that's with a user application.

The trouble with NT is that you never know what's happening. It's a very
unclear OS, delivered without the tools you need to actually administer a
server.

But for the rest, no complaints. I have my machine on all of the time (it's
running SETI@home). Still, I want to reboot it sometimes, because I get the
feeling that not all resources are freed.
