I've tried to make my 4 XP systems crash. It's quite stable. I regularly unplug my laptop from our lan, take it to a meeting (still running), plug it into a lan connection and continue working like nothing happened.

I run it on multiple LANs seamlessly.

I thought I had a major XP crash, and was cursing MS. It turned out to be a fatal disk problem.

The only thing that has made my XP(pro) crash was an external USB drive(bad drivers), and a hard drive that died and caused a reboot. Why yes, it was an IBM drive.

I'm running XP Pro; the thing still dies on me once in a while, and plenty of programs crash for no reason whatsoever.
