It seems to me you are the only MS user who isn't familiar with the BSOD.
I used to use MS stuff for graphics and it crashed at least daily.

I was the senior systems and network engineer for a company that ran 4000 Microsoft desktops. I don't think you are going to tell me anything I don't already know about Microsoft. And by the way. I *rarely* touch an M$ OS any more. I'm nearly 100% Linux at home (I do run Win2k advanced server in VMware just for connectivity testing). Don't get so uptight. Get Linux instead.

With Linux i dont ave to worry about apps being downloaded in my computer with out me knowing it. Yes I got the weather app, that gator crap and date manager downloaded and installed with out me having the chance to say yes or no.
You will say I should be carefull then where I go. Well here is the thing, why the hell I should be carefull. M$ claims to have a browser that is very secure.
Secure my ass.
With Linux i roam around like a blonde smoking a doobie leaving all the wurms and viruses for the REAL blondes. The Windos users.

I wouldn't consider your test a good experiment. If it was, you would implement controls and maybe some variables. Maybe different. updated versions of Win98. Maybe different hardware configurations. Different amounts of ram. Etc. Etc.

Best check your IE security options then.
"Other people that had higher security settings on MSIE would not get the automatic download without first knowing about it. Those people would get a popup confirmation box that would ask for permission to download. The person could cancel the download." [source
It is also possible that it was installed with some other shareware or freeware. Imesh and Kazaa often do that, even if you tell them not to.

I flinch everytime I hear that if a person wants to get rid of most of their windows problems, they should upgrade to the next latest and greatest....
I don't think so!!! I'm taking my business elsewhere.
