It's not a lousy installation on my system. I know what I'm doing.

So you disagree with Microsoft's ad campaign touting the greater
reliability of Win2K over Win98? Haven't you seen Microsoft's print ads?
See:
and
A two-page spread in the 6 Feb 2001 issue of PC Magazine illustrates this
(p36-37). It features a picture of a BSOD captioned "If you find yourself
missing the downtime, cut out and tape to monitor." The text includes the
statement "NSTL test results show that Windows 2000 Professional is 13
times more reliable than Windows 98. Which means users will need far less
support."
