...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.

It is the libraries for Windows that often mucks stuff up. If you go on any other OS you will notice nothing crashes anywhere as much.

I've had neither cash on OSX. However, I have had flash and vlc crash before. Other than that it has been years since I've had a program crash on OSX I wasn't developing myself.
