Not really. It still happens in 98 and 98SE; i.e., bluescreens when Explorer attempts to access media that "no longer exists." Not only does this include floppies, but also CDRoms. Most of the time when their software engineers approach a problem, they take the stupid approach. Within their organization, different groups that are in charge of different aspects of the OS do not communicate with each other except on a very basic level. The communication is not nearly as comprehensive and open as it is in the GNU world. In fact they are encouraged to compete with each other. I encourage you to read "Barbarians Led by Bill Gates", if you are interested.
