Well, I can get Windows 3.11 to crash everyday... Win95 *yawn* call me when
I can get a reply back from the system.  Too bad, I'm still using 16-bit system
calls...   OS/2 Warp, well, gee, let me see, I've had a least several Windows 
applications I could run--crashing, of course, at the least bit of annoyance
with my configuration, and still I was able to Ctrl+Esc, abort the nasty programs
and keep my system onboard.  Everytime I hear about OS/2 crashing, I ask 
has that person gotten the latest "patch disks".  Patching is a sign that some-
thing is wrong, but it also means that the company making the OS is looking
to "fix" permanently the problems.  I have yet to find Windows "patches" &
"fixes" or even get feedback on GPF causes.   Until Workgroups came along,
you had no clue what caused the crash and no way to do problem research.  
That's why "critical" systems run under OS/2 versus Windows.
