Bizzare Game at my workplace.
JonnyBoy:
I work at an arcade/fun center (go karts and all that) and we have a Fast and the Furious arcade driving cab. An oddly, one time we started it up and god what looked to be a windows style error box. Something about the program gun.exe failing to initiliaze. All the games we get from some company but one that runs off windows? Wierd.

A lot of modern games run from Windows.

Yep, it makes development time and the hardware dramatically cheaper.

I doubt it. A stripped down version of 2000 or XP is VERY stable. This is why it's used for kiosks as well. Don't get me wrong, XP still isn't as stable as some versions of Unix, but a well-configured and maintained version of XP is as solid as many of the weaker Linux distros.
I don't remember the exact statistic, but a 3rd party company did a technical survey and found something like 90+% of all Windows problems are poorly written drivers. This is why Microsoft instituted that whole driver certification process.
Have fun!
