Actually I do agree that W7 (and all versions of windows before it) could use some better error recovery/. I mean it is actually quite good, but there are some places it needs to be better, and HD problem mitigation is definately one of them.
ANother one that a huge number of people run into is, a single bad control panel app kills the entire control panel itself. THis is comepltely unacceptable. I mean I even KNOW what kills it and the fact that the control panel app (well expllorer itself actually) cannot handle a crashing "plugin" is pretty bad. I was particularly dissapointed that this issue as stil in 7 as it was so bad in Vista and actually worse than 2k/XP were.
But anyway Heh, W7 is the best yet, but yes, there are some places like that that still need work. No program, service or Dll crash should affect anything other than the work it was supposed to do, and anyone relying on it must have an out and not hang the user up on infinate waits or crashes itself.
