I wonder if the people who type "Micro$oft" know how childish they look. I also find it funny how people blame Microsoft for everything wrong with their windows installs. The large majority of the time, it isnt Microsofts fault. Its the third party that made the drivers that are erroring, its the third party that made the programs that didnt do it right. Rarely will you do a clean install- not install anything and not have it "stable" for just as long as any other OS without hanging/crashes. Its not the OS, its the user &/ third party developer.
