    ^^ and if your Vista crashes, W7 would not help much, but just the placebo effect of a clean new installation. Re-install Vista and start fresh again?

    Instead of blaming Vista, you should find out why Vista crashed.

    98% of the system errors is stitting front of their PC!

    What coolguy said, I have not had a single problem with Vista for months now, so I think you are included in the 98%...!
