This is exactly my point. Suse 9 was released (at a cursory glance via google)
in october last year, making it just over 6 months old. Windows nt 4 was
released, what, 7 or so years ago? As Kenn says, crashes and tomfoolery to do
with PCs is usually due to dirt hardware, and saying a seven year old
operating system doesn't measure up to a 6-month-old one is not argument in
favour of anything, since it proves or disproves nothing.

Well, obviously the IT people in your place of work are complete spanners,
assuming you need this machine for work.
