Mxsmanic,

I and Microsoft, as well as anyone else familiar with Windows
internals.


Sources? (I'll be really interesetd in one for the "anyone else" part)

Windows isn't Windows, as you try to make it in your generalization -
which in itslef implies a certain cluelessness with the topic.
Furthermore, these units are certified to certain reliability levels,
which are well defined. Your sweepingly broad statements just aren't
true.
