One acronym: BSOD.  Why have users learned what it is, and grown accepting of
seeing one?  Do you know any Windows users who have *never* encountered one?
How many Windows users would believe that before Microsoft, vendors actually
would take a *single* crash reported by *one* user seriously enough to
investigate and produce a bugfix, and that vendors would escalate to the point
of sending developers to the customer site if a system crashed multiple times
and no fix was in sight in a week?

For all its monopolistic abuses, the single worst thing Microsoft has done
for the computer industry is lowered user expectations regarding software.
