Hilarious Microsoft lie
See it here.See it here.
That's like saying that a lightbulb won't work if you don't hire an electrician to install it.

75% of the computers in which the OS wasn't installed by the reseller - crash!?
It implies those would be pirated copies of XP, and that is inaccurate, pirated XP being, most of the time, just as stable as one acquired from and installed by an authorised reseller.
That ad is likely to have zero impact on the costumers, those who would have bought a legal copy anyway will keep doing so, and those would not have will keep doing so as well.

Yeah...it doesn't much matter...it'll suck no matter what you do to it.
What exactly is so hard about settings windows up with a computer, even 98 wasn't very difficult...time consuming but not difficult.
...last time I checked there wasn't a checkbox marked crash.

That's because crashing isn't an option.
</cheap shot>
and if you're telling me you have a PC that NEVER crashes, i'll be impressed.
As an interesting aside, that particular style of wheelie bin is standard council issue for all householders in Adelaide : Australia ....wonder who makes them & where they are made ?

From my fathers experience with the same model it must be Microsoft. But then again it could be because he installed it himself.

I actually have a homebuilt pc that doesn't crash. I have never had xp just crash on me. I guess I am really luck.
Me too. But I think people who can build their own computers have a better understanding of how they work in general...XP can be pretty damn stable if you know what you're doing.
man, that's blue screen of death for ya.

Hahaha.
Looks like our do-it-yourself man also managed to screw up the mouse driver installation so badly it somehow killed it physically too.
Oh it brings back bad memories. Killed a Bondwell "portable" once because its serial port expected a external floppy drive and I gave it a printer. Took out everything. Port, motherboard, HD, screen AND the printer. Only usable thing left was the keyboard.

Isn´t ms really saying "We put so little work into the installer that noone but trained computer professionals can use it"?
MS put so little work into their OS that no one should use it. Right now they are busy trying to take over the world, and copying OS X and calling it longhorn instead of developing their OS.

Gaah?!? How is that possible?

i would guess the printer had two way communication, and it ended up sending power IN to a port that only wanted power going OUT.
They shipped computers that couldn't deal with mismatched data pins? Wow, that's pretty bad.
