Interesting, but I suspect that the reduction in crashes may simply be due to the fact that a majority of windows 8 installations are either on new computers or are clean installs. I will be curious to see how the "crashes/user" number trends over time.
- stephenfung 14y agoAnother related factor is the difference in user demographics -- the early adopters may be more tech savvy.
- jakeonthemove 14y agoI'd be more worried about what's crashing - Windows 8's Explorer is at the top, which is not a good thing...
- cail 14y agoThis could come with the same concern. If a lot of these Windows 8 installs are new machines or clean installs there may not be as much third-party software installed so crashes that happen are more likely to occur in Windows components. That said, the explorer crashes do worry me.
- mistermann 14y agoIt's very sloppy, but not unusual for Microsoft, and easily fixed.
- djpowell 14y agoCould some of these be caused by 3rd party in-process shell extensions? Especially ones that aren't compatible with Windows 8?
