Vista is primarily to blame for the unstable operation of OS, it turns out, not Microsoft, but Nvidia. In the process of investigating the Vista Capable program , another interesting “info” came up: statistics of OS “crashes”, according to which it’s the Nvidia drivers that caused the most problems.
According to Microsoft, 28.81% of all reported instances of unstable operation of the OS lies with Nvidia. Second and third place in the list - Microsoft with 17.9% and drivers of unknown developers. The figures are slightly lower for AMD (ATI) and Intel (9.3% and 8.83%, respectively).
Interestingly, Nvidia representatives are not going to deny these statistics. Explaining this “gap” from the main competitor in the production of graphics accelerators by a large number (~ 250 for Nvidia versus ~ 125 for ATI) supported products.
I note, however, that statistics are already quite outdated. And a lot of new drivers were released, and Vista has already acquired SP1.
PS I
remembered an old joke: “Everyone says a movie for fools. And I liked it!". This is me about the transition to Vista. I’ve installed it for a week now. With a service pack. I can’t get enough.
