How true. The Microsoft way seems to be to exit and restart a failing application. I do it at work on a regular basis. Ironically it is more often than not a Microsoft application that crashes windows. Even XP, the latest and greatest is continuing the trend for each release to be less robust than the previous one.

There are some glass cockpit components out there with software running on Windows. I wouldn't fly one of those even if it was less than free.

Just my 2 cents.
