Microsoft has begun sharing ideas on how to design a Vista PC as part of what it calls the Vista Industrial Design Toolkit. The kit, which has been distributed to about 70 different companies, offers PC and peripherals manufacturers as well as product design firms a number of ideas on ways to shape PCs and related hardware to complement the operating system's new features. The kits, whose design ideas remain under wraps at the moment but are believed to convey ideas of simplicity and elegance, comes as Microsoft pushes to release Windows Vista in the coming months.

"Whether XP or W2K3 blue-screens or not depends on the apps used and drivers installed (not to mention there's ways to intentionally make them die). Good for you if you don't get them or get them often, but unfortunately lots of us get them yet still."
Agreed on this. My point was that they are few and far between, and that there is no difference between the blue screen and X locking up the computer so it requires a hard reset. I have experienced the X lockups, not the reboots or blue screens. It was just a response to the person making it sound like it happens constantly. True that a faulty driver can cause it..and that is where my job comes in as a sysadmin stopping people from loading crap on their computers. That tends to stop any blue screens or reboots.
