Some time ago we featured an interview with an... official Mac OS X switcher. A year later, we found another Apple switcher, James Dorn ("noviteo" for his friends) and we ask him a few details upon the switch. Especially with the recent price cuts on Apple hardware and the Mac OS X Panther release last week, being a switcher becomes "cool" all over again.

I am not sure what you people experience but I have a custom built system for such a long time now and ran XP on it, I haven't seen a single BSOD literally.
That's because XP's default is to reboot in the case of BSOD. You have to go to "System Properties", "Startup and Recovery" settings, and unclick "Automatically restart". Now instead of the magical, sponteaneous reboots, you will get your BSOD.
I get them on my Dell laptop with the "Designed for Microsoft Windows XP" sticker on it. All signed drivers. Installed and configured by the corporate infrastructure team.
