This is of course very interesting:
1) The professional programmers that write drivers for Windows cause 70% of
failures. According to Microsoft, Linux is written by amateurs. Yet these
same amateurs are able to write drivers, in many cases without access to
the hardware specification, which are rock solid.
2) How is it that the memory is getting so screwed up that no one can tell
what went wrong? Could it be that the memory management in Windows is
broken?
3) Microsoft forgot to mention the malware group or maybe these are just
considered drivers :-)
