Just ran across this "interesting" way to crash windows.  
	- Start windows
	- double click on DOS to start a DOS session
	- <ALT><Enter> to make it a window
	- Run Norton's SI (I used version 4.5) in that window (and notice
	  that windows is eating ~33% of your CPU).
	- double click on DOS to start a second DOS session
	- <ALT><Enter> to make it a window
	- Run Norton's SI in that window
Everything dies and you are back where you started windows.  Neat, huh?
