Win2k is completely stable.
I've found the root of most instabillty is other poorly written programs that don't play nice with Windows/other programs.
Win 9x, being 16bit code upgraded to run 32bit applications, has an inherant instability. Win 9x is still DOS, just with a pretty interface. Win2K and XP are versions of NT(NewTechnology), which was 32bit from the begining.
Other programs.
They can be poorly written, or leave extra junk around when uninstalled. By extra junk, I mean leaving lines in the registry pointing to things that are no longer there.
Or just poorly written so it uses more system resources then it needs. Dosn't release memory when you close it..all sorts of crap is possible when you don't write good code.
Or you get Kazaa that installs other programs that run in the backgroud that it dosn't tell you about. Or our friend Gator...
This is what I see as the problem with most computers that cause them to crash.
That and Macs are just dirty.
