  The most easy way (provided that your machine is equipped with two monitors)
  is to run the app being developed under a debugger. This way,
  *none* of my programming mistakes were able to affect other apps, and
  Windows continued to run as well, certainly.

False security.  The debugger cannot catch a "wild write" that clobbers
a data segment belonging to another Windows app, or to Windows itself.
