Dylan,

Like car
crashes, most Windows crashes are caused by bad drivers.


I like that ;-)

FWIW, for the PC space, most of the bad drivers are made by legions of
third-party hardware manufacturers. The fact that those legions exist
makes Windows and PCs so cheap and pervasive. It also leads to
problems. Which is why the hard- and software quasi-monopoly employed
by Apple does not have these stability problems as much. It also
explains the much lower marker share of Macs...

Oh, another point: The stability of the Windows PC OS has improved
dramatically with the last two or so versions.

But, as you say, all this is completely irrelevant to the "Windows"
used in avionics.
