Last week I've seen the ugliest BSOD in w2k. The was a modem connected a 
month ago, but driver wasn't installed (by whatever reason). As usually, 
w2k announced a new device upon user login. But when this user turned 
his computer on and didn't log in immediately, half an hour later he 
found BSOD with exception in pnp module.

Recommendation: don't use alternative operating systems, made by 
Microsoft Corp., in your daily tasks.  Not because they are bad, but 
because they are still in alpha development stage.
