Ok, so Micro$oft isn't claiming responsibility... no biggie. I did figure out why Winamp crashed (at least twice) though... It doesn't really help when you're running 3 game clients, 2 Windows Explorers, TextPad (about 10 files open), Calculator, Firefox (about 14 tabs open), 2 OpenOffice.org Calc spreadsheets, 2 X-Chat IRC clients, & Winamp running and then the Anti-Virus decides to start a full system scan.
At least 1 of the game clients crashed with a Visual Studio library issue, but I think part of that was caused by the Anti-Virus full system scan. Something was trying to access a protected memory area of a different program & *poof*. Considering it's Windows® I'm surprised there wasn't more collateral damage =)
