there is a setting in XP that tells the system to reboot when there would normally be a BSOD.. so i think you goto system properties and uncheck the checkbox, then youll start to see a few bsods |
You're about half right. By default, XP does automatically reboot when a BSOD error occurs. The cause of most BSODs (BSs OD?) however, is USER ERROR. I have the automatic restart disabled on my XP machine, so I can see what exactly caused the BSOD, and I haven't had a blue screen error in over a year (since I uninstalled some bad software).
XP is just as stable for an intelligent user as any *nix setup.
