I haven't seen a BSOD in years...i think the last one I encountered might've been in Win98SE. WinXP was and Win7 is remarkably stable.
my first box was a TRS-80 Model I...4k of RAM, 2-string variables, 5.25" floppies and software that was saved and loaded via audio tape. starting with that machine I taught myself to program in BASIC. then a Model III, Model 4, Model 4P (we networked the 4Ps at work when Tandy told us it was impossible) and a fling with the TRS-80 Model II. I'm actually what some call a DOS dinosaur...love DOS. TRS-DOS was OK but MS-DOS and another flavor of DOS whose name I can't recall were pretty good.
my career (public safety communications/9-1-1) took me down the Windows path (mainly due to available software) and I followed for my personal computing. I've used most versions of Windows...3, 3.1. 3.11, Windows for Workgroups, 95, 98, 98SE, 2000, XP and now 7. I passed on Vista and am resisting 8/8.1 but will eventually have to move that way. decided on Windows over Apple back in the day mainly because of available software...the software I wanted didn't have an Apple version.
