What version of Windows would that be? Windows 98? I haven't had a bluescreen on Windows since Windows 2000. And my experiece with the Mac Mini was just the opposite than what you describe, it crashed on me several times.

XP. I find that every so often, XP just goes 'out to lunch', starts thrashing the disk and becomes hugely unresponsive. Maybe I'm too ambitious in running Word, Outlook, VS.NET 2005 and BDS all at the same time, but I don't get these problems on a heavily-loaded Mac.


I had this happen this past weekend on Windows XP. The machine was running VERY slowly. 100% CPU from boot up. Happened numerous times. Safe mode didn't help. Then after 10 or so reboots while trying to find a solution, it fixed it self. Thank God the bug in the machine was killed. :)
