So, on Windows, when a program stops responding, there's this "Wait for the program to respond" button. I've always been curious why it's there if it never works. What's the point of it? Wouldn't it make more sense if there was just some kind of a pop-up window saying that something has broke and the program will now be closed? Wouldn't it make things faster and easier?
