Yes but Microsoft would like you to believe that crashes are inevitable.
They aren't. In a properly designed system, the system itself should
NEVER crash. This is the case 99% of the time with Linux. If it does
crash, it's almost always YOUR FAULT. In Windows, the system is
designed in a matter where any program can inadvertantly execute an
invalid instruction and -OOPS- the whole system goes down.
Take a look at the calcs. You generally never run into a situation
where the calc will lock up if you are using it under NORMAL
circumstances (sorry, playing ASM games isn't considered normal, to TI
at least -- you're supposed to be doing calculations on these things).
But, in Windows, under normal circumstances you DO run into crashes. A
lot of them too. The point I'm trying to make is that Windows is a
poorly designed system that is prone to frequent crashes.
