I've used Windows since 1988 and Linux from 1996, I can't see any 
difference in stability, both being rock steady. The only problems I had 
since the beginning is hardware that fails. Since 1995 Win NT, Win 2000 
and now Win XP are totally stable. Linux has been that way from its 
beginning in 1992, as far as I can see talking to many professional 
friends of mine in the business.
