Just because your system is broken doesn't mean everyones' is.  Windows 
never "locked up" for me while looking for DHCP (it just gives a local 
address until the DHCP answers, and indeed the icon in the corner tells you 
how far along it has gotten). And the whole GUI doesn't lock up; at most, 
explorer waits for the CD to spin up.  Again, it's that overgeneralization. :-)
