It's similar to the radio-car analogy that he failed to understand. The radio was not essential to the functionality of the car, but company X decided to integrate it with the rest of the car, making it under the mercy of the radio. Go figure.

Ok, the Os stays up but you can't browse your disk? What use is that? It's a lot of use if you are running other applications and services. You can bring the explorer back up without much trouble. Actually, even under NT I've had Internet Explorer basically bring down the OS. It doesn't bluescreen but it gets in to a state where the IE process is taking %100 CPU at a very high priority and I have to reboot. Killing the IE process doesn't work, it won't end the task. This happens a couple times a week. I've had it go into the "100%" mode a few times, but I could always kill it easily with the Task Manager. Not sure why you couldn't kill it.
