Why cant Microsoft make a stable OP system

[Paul-R]

I dont understand why they come out every year with a new system instead of fixing the one they have.

Yes. If they had stuck to one product and got it better and better, then it would
be dependable.

Linux has done just that. This is why, apparently, NASA uses it. They are not
happy to be getting the "Blue screen of Death" as the shuttle requires its
glide angle to land.

Anyone remember the Google / MS fight over yahoo? ..

Both of them are wanting to switch to on-demand computing.

In other words, they want to put a terminal in your house, and the storage in theirs - presumably, so they can do whatever they want to with it, whenever they want, and for whatever reason.

It's the modern fleecing of talent, harvesting of data, monitoring of your attention span, run-of-the-mill " your an employ, but we're not going to pay you, and we owe you no obligations" ..and for all intensive purposes, the voluntary nature is no more; it is obligatory - because this is how we're going to develop software now, and if you want to access you older files, then you'll have to buy a newer version, and you're going to have to pay for it...

I actually don't see that last bit happening, there's been too much fuss over file format.
PS, this is an extreme not-so-likely view of software future.

People have a right to be secure in their belongings and possessions.  I interpret this as way of life ( their belonging, whether it be one way or many ) and the things which they own.  Barring, of course, the interpretation of either being legal drifting so far from reasonable.

Yes. If they had stuck to one product and got it better and better, then it would

What, the shuttle isn't running CE?

I remember using ALL version of windows, except the latests.  With certainty, on windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000...I could crash the computer from the start menu, executing NO commands at the command prompt in under 1 minute...just by simply opening programs.  THAT is how stable windows was. ..there was no amount of anti-virus security that could outrun network worms on a 56K connection - windows just couldn't download a patch fast enough, if you were unprotected, your system would be infected from the get go.  ( hindsight is 20/20 though )...this is probably the reason I had to reinstall so many times.
