I have no complaint about backups, and I admit that the only game
I play in Windows is Microsoft Pinball, but I have _never_ seen a BSOD
in XP. All the time in 95 and 98, but for me, XP cured that problem.
It really is too bad they'r e phasing out support for XP. My laptop
just can't hack Win 7. It's so slow it's pitiful!
