that is / was right for Win 98 or Win ME. Having an exception error which was caused by damaged registry files always meant a reset to state short after the OS-installation, so all the drivers and programs had to be re-installed.
But my XP-Installation ran more than five years stable though being "stressed" by many test-installations of applications. Does not mean that XP or Win 7 is going to make an admin feel happy - but yes, there was an improvement, at least for the users.
But that was not such an improvement, maybe Windoze XP ran slightly longer than 3 months. But it's still not what I call stable. And it still is a PITA, particularly when it comes to administration. And it still gets unstable because of the (more and more growing) registry. Heiko
