hmm... 5 explorers, an opera window, pegasus, few word docs, dozen or so putty connections.. that can't be threshold of a 512MB workstation. I equally abuse my machine in linux. KDE has some display glitches but it never drops a dime in speed even after weeks. NT/W2K needs regular reboots to get things in shape. XP is better but not there to linux scale. This is unbiased judgement. Linux or not, when my machine doesn't work, my work gets stalled and I hate that. Because I rarely get in a mood to work and damn machine spoil it..;-) I have yet to experience a BSOD on XP. but I believe that shouldn't be impossible.. > > Do this only if are very bored and have nothing else to do. > Just keep on executing bash prompts one after the other. > i.e. keep typing bash > Sooner or later the system will hang. > There wasn't even any intelligent swapping mechanism which > could save it. If that's some kinda buffer overflow, you got to press enter somewhere. Anyway I will try that on home machine.. But again that's intended abuse. The behaviour of XP I said was with regular work..
