Not meaning to waste further bandwidth... but you hit (or avoided) those
dreaded issues right on the head...
Namely PNP and low level drivers.... by "turning them off" you effectively
circumvented the problem(s)... but at the same time it's these very items
which is supposed, (pardon my gaffaw) to improve the reliability of
Winblows...
Winblows is supposed to "recover" from misconfigurations, something it
cannot do with these features turned off...
Sooo back to the real OS... I hope that PNP and system board handling never
becomes an issue with Linux... Given the flexibility of this OS, I doubt it
will, and maybe Mickeysoft has yet another thing to learn from the
Penguin...
