Nope, not in IT.

Compared to Win 98 which I drove to BSOD a couple times a week at least and XP which did it fairly regularly win 7 is far better. Like I said, none I can recall since we got the machine. (Can't rule out it happening and me not remembering it, but for me it's become a rare thing.)

A lot of common websites like games on FB do leak enough memory to make shutting down IE fairly often a necessity. The new machine I need to get setup I think is win 10, so that'll be interesting.

My wife does work for MS, and I've got plenty of gripes which I'm forbidden from griping about publicly. But BSOD is no longer one of them. (Apparently spouses publicly griping about the product is seriously frowned upon )
