Official windows crash statistics

I am shamelessly stealing this bit of news from Slashdot, but it's worth repeating because it's just so unbelievable. Bill Gates himself has acknowledged that the data available to Microsoft indicates that windows-based computers crash more than twice per day on average. Then, in almost the same breath, he suggests Microsoft might start charging for the Windows Updates that allegedly plug holes in the software and make it more reliable! This is from an article in the New York times.
