Yeah, true. Every Windows system I've ever worked with in my life just 
happens to be "broken" in the same way. That's completely plausible...

I suppose Windows also doesn't stop responding when you change your 
TCP/IP configuration settings? (Actually, that one seems to vary. On 
some computers, you change it and it doesn't even blink. On others, you 
change it and have to sit there for multiple minutes before it wakes up 
again...)

Since Explorer is 90% of the Windows GUI, that's not a particularly 
drastic difference...
