Ironically Windows XP was the first "consumer" (i.e. not "workstation") Windows version to not crash several times a day.
In the 98/ME era, it was pretty common to reboot every couple hours or the system would randomly do that for you.
Didn't they dump old Windows 95 kernel in XP and switched to Windows NT kernel in XP?
Ironically, when I overclocked my system beyond it's limits, WinXP would crash on boot, but Win98 would boot just fine and (sometimes) crash later, during the game.
