Well, if you really insist on taking the blame for Microsoft's ineptness... :-)

Real Operating Systems clean out such crap when you kill the offending process.

Drivers and services are another matter, of course. If your drivers are compiled into the kernel, and you've muffed the driver, then you have to restart (pregerably after you fix the driver). Services (Billy-speak for daemons) or loadable drivers have to be restarted, but that's no big deal, so you can afford to keep going while you figure what you screwed up.
