I got blue screens on a weekly basis. Was never a fan of XP. Granted it wasn't as bad as Windows 98 but i always found XP less stable than 2000.

I'd install Win8 in a heartbeat but i dont need that startup screen. Just silly of MS to force that on desktop/laptop/nontouch devices. There were some hacks for Win8 betas that allowed for a start menu like we have now, but MS has done away with those.
