I find this statement highly suspect.
Ari Atari wrote:Well, I guess I meant to say: "My computer crashed while playing a steam game. It would seem to be a very nice coincidence that steam happens to go down at the exact moment my computer crashed (crashing being abnormal), so I am lead to believe that steam caused the crash."

just brew it! wrote:In a perfect world you are correct. But given the organically complex nature of current APIs, the sorry state of software QA in general, and how intimately 3rd party software tends to be entwined with the OS (don't get me started), I'm not willing to rule it out. Yeah, Steam should not have the ability to crash the OS... but "should not" is not the same as "can not".
