However, it's the truth about some of the many reasons that Windows crashes. I personally never want Windows to touch my machine ever again because it caused me so much frustration and required a rediculous amount of driver installation and restarts to get it going. Not to mention it requires a clean reformat after about 6 months. It truly sucks.
