| Posted: | | | | Haven't seen that screen since Windows 95 and after a couple of update it was almost gone... Never had a single crash on XP, so Microsoft isn't that bad in my book.
edit : I mean complete system crash. Of course softwares crash sometimes but I don't blame Windows... | | | Last edited: by Jimmy S |

I've gotten it a few times over the years on each of my systems (except my Windows 7 Pro x64 machine... so far), but it's almost always been my fault, seeing how far I can push without breaking and whatnot. | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

| Posted: | | | | My one year old apple I-Phone 4 has frozen or crashed on me maybe... three times..
I can't get a transmission signal... or my emails have frozen .. or ..something else ..
in all cases Had to do a hard reset ( power off) to get it back. so even Apple has it flaws ...... | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

I grabbed the tracking number... and sure enough the new computer was waiting there for me... ready to go out in tomorrow's mail. So I grabbed it. And am now typing on my new computer!!!!

| Posted: | | | | If you want to run a Virtual Version of XP, use the program
Oracle Virtual Box. https://www.virtualbox.org/ Free from Oracle, no stringies attached.
At work I have several VM's that I use for various things. Also have VM's of Red Hat, Mountain Lion, Android ICS, WIn7 Thin Client, Server 2012.
Now lets see M$ virtual server top that!!! |

Now lets see M$ virtual server top that!!! I don't get this Top what? At work we have hundreds of VMs running on VMware Workstation, VMware ESX, MS Hyper-V and RHEV. After our tests we desided not to use VirtualBox. It was too "toy" and buggy. Of course it's free, but so is VMware Player. |
