Sorry but you're talking crap. There is a reasonable expectation that an application won't screw up your data and there is a reasonable expectation that the OS won't screw it up either. Even "consumer grade" hardware has this expectation as after all it runs precisely the same enterprise grade operating system kernels. You don't get ECC, RAID and power redundancy - apart from that it's literally the same kit and software. Backups I agree are a requirement, but you don't take a backup after every iCal entry you add do you in case iCal screws up your data do you? Myself, I backup daily. Regarding Windows XP, I was the fortunate overseer of 2500 corporate desktops for 5 years that ran XP on decent quality Dell Optiplex desktops. Not a single blue screen. Probably because they were all WHQL certified. 99.9% of the Windows reliability problems are related to buying trash hardware. Just pay some more. |

Yes, because windows xp, windows vista, windows 7 and windows 8 are all equal to each other, and no matter what software is installed, as long as it is microsoft certified you will only have a 0.1% chance of windows crashing on you and losing data (blue screen, screen freeze, app crashes, take your pick).
Me talking crap? :-)
