That is _complete_ nonsense. If a _document_ can crash Windows, then that is a fault of _Windows_ and not any fault of the document nor of the program that produced it. In this, the year 2007, any credible OS is supposed to know how to do exception and error handling without falling on its face. It's surprising that you don't understand that. What _are_ they teaching at U-Mass these days?
