It's not as stable as you would like to believe. Not that I want to defend Win95 (beacuse I don't use it, like it or think it's a stable and well designed OS), but even the most stable OS in the world could be crashed if you write buggy device drivers who runs in unprotected kernel mode. To have a totally device driver tolerant system you have to limit the drivers to only run in user mode in a very restricted way. Best regards, m a r t i n n - who prefers Unix, NT and OS/2 over Mac or Win95. -- Martin Nisshagen martin@mts.se (MIME 1.0) "verdi + callas = MTS Technology, Sweden http://www.mts.se/martin 100% pleasure..."
