In 12 months of using XP every day, usually for several hours:
- I seem to recall only one actual XP "crash"
- I rebooted a couple of times because it was
   acting a bit strange (some cosmetic problem developed
   with the way some windows were shown).
- I rebooted a few times when trying to restore my Internet
   connection, but I can't say that was XP's fault, the DSL
   just seemed to go down for a while.
- It crashed twice during electrical storms, but that's hardly
   XP's fault.

In contrast, my previous Win98, later WinME, machine crashed
an average of twice a day. It may have been partly due
to flaky hardware (though Linux on that same
machine rarely crashed - maybe an average of once per 200 hours).
