I don’t disagree but I think an even bigger problem is that the OS allowed this to happen in the first place.
I’ve said this but people insist that it’s a physical impossibility to prevent drivers from killing the operating system. You know even though safe mode does exist and enabling safe mode did fix the problem. Apparently auto enabling safe mode is Impossible.
Until we have widespread use of modular kernels and/or user-space drivers I don’t think we will be preventing driver bluescreens any time soon.
The OS operated like it was supposed to. MS is forced to allow this level of access. All OS’s would have halted in this manner, by design.
If Ms prevents access at this level they have problems with anticompetitive regulations.
