Wouldn't know, was Myst written in Ada95? ;-) But as to XP's stability it isn't so stable as for instance Linux. I have had problems after only 3 days of using it at work. And the dumbed-down interface is really annoying for one that has be using computers since he was 10. Also Office 97 (and in particular powerpoint) doesn't work. Not surprising really as M$ makes more money if you are force to upgrade. But I can at least say that the GNAT 3.13p compiler works (also GtkAda) from what I have tested in this short time.
