Hmm. Interesting stuff one can dig up. For example...
http://www.verifiedvotingfoundation.org/article.php?id=6257
"Nineteen machines had 21 screen freezes or system crashes, producing a
blue screen and messages about an "illegal operation" or a "fatal
exception error."
"Especially with this blue-screen problem, you don't know whether it's
the printer drivers, you don't know whether it's Diebold's own code or
whether it's Windows,"
Same time period? Not sure. Just noted that Diebold does, in fact, have
problems, and yes, Windows is involved - whether it is the culprit or not
is another matter.
