I have spent enough time in IT to know the truth of this one:
The single biggest cause of Operating system failure, REGARDLESS of the Operating system, is PEBKAC.
I've never had any issues with gratuitous crashes on ANY operating system. This is not to say that I've never had any ISSUES, but they were a direct result of something outside the box I was attempting [overclocking as an example]

I wish the OP will add more details to the situation. What was the SP3 connected to. What software was open. Sometimes large PDFs can cause freeze due to adobe not the SP3. Also some software don't work well with network stored files. Did he boot from scratch or did he resume from hibernation etc. which model you were using? With the quick boot time of SP3 you can restart in no time...
People who say OS X don't freeze think again. Obviously you haven't experienced the "wheel of doom" as i call it. The funny thing it freezes on software even designed by apple. I have had whole editing project crash on me. My experience with apple yes it is usually stable but when it freeze on you its at the worse possible time. 90% of the time you can't get out of it with out rebooting. Windows is more flexible.
Back to the OP....Any good tips for people who may have experienced this with window 8 ? I always have a flash drive back up for any presentation and sometimes a paper copy as well. Mr.Murphy's Law has thought me well lol

That's weird. I can see how annoying that can be in the middle of the presentation. I hate when things like that mess with my flow. Sounds like an Adobe thing to me....but i could be wrong. Maybe your SP3 wanted to play a game instead and was being stubborn

At least the good news is the majority of businesses use Microsoft so "they understand"
Which PDF renderer were you using, was it WinRT or Win32?
I was using the Adobe Reader for WinRT (Metro UI) and not Adobe Reader for Desktop
Ouch....I don't use Adobe...DrawboardPDF has been rock solid for me even when using it with books that have 4000-5000 pages (68MB File Size).
I wonder if Adobe was the cause of the freezing anyways...
