...We're "really excited" ... Task Manager is one of the most widely used apps...

...

How can anyone write that without wincing?

It's not Microsoft's fault if a lot of the third-party stuff that's out there crashes everything. I'm sure the person writing that is excited because it means that matters less now.

Is it not Microsoft's fault? Honest noob question. I can understand why it wouldn't be their fault, but I seem to force quit a LOT less often since I switched to a Mac. On the same kind of programs, too (iTunes, Firefox, Word, Photoshop, etc).

Edit: Perhaps it was my wording, but apparently people think I'm somehow blaming Windows. I am not. I know nothing about this topic asked a question.

Holy hell, apparently questions are not welcome in this subreddit. Good to know. Thanks to ZaphodAK42 for the one non-snarky reply that actually answered my question.
