The smell of newly purchased stuff... So, there I was, Hauppauge WinTV board in hand, Mandrake 10 installed and ready to rock! Little did I expect that it would come to this. But first things first.

You for sure are using 9x series. NT based OS don't suffer from what you have said. In terms of stability XP is comparable infact slightly better than linux + X. XP has never crashed on me though neither did linux but X (KDE) caused linux to hang on me twice where even the keyboard was not working.
Now the problem: When i rebooted my linux box by hard reboot, its file system got corrupt and no matter what i did with efsck or wtf that tool is, it didn't rectify my file system and i had to reinstall linux (redhat 9.1). So claims like XP is not stable are not true. I would agree if you say 98 is not stable because yes 98 sucked ass and it used to freeze atleast 4 times on average daily on me requiring hard reboot.
