In how much time under what conditions with what type or quality of hardware
and with what type of drivers?  Have you made any particular analysis of why
there was the crash or did you just blame MS without any real clue as to
what went wrong?  Seriously, do you have the post-mortem analysis?   Are you
absolutely positive that you can ascribe the error to Windows and MS and not
some flaky hardware or device driver?
