What happed at Hotmail was we saw an large decrease in the number
of panics that peter is talking about.  Basically they went away
for the most part and only occasionally show up.  Ie: the machines
stay up for weeks/months instead of hours/days.

I also know that this is the same case at Yahoo.  The test programs
they had to easily reproduce the "Weird Shit(tm)" panics stopped
after they started using the sym driver.
