Good answer - only it used to happen with Win 95 as well (but not as often).
It happens with all kinds of software, not just microsoft. It seems to
happen to me very frequently when I am using CorelDraw and Protel while I
have Outlook Express running. Corel seems to be quite bad in that it seems
to hog resources while it is still running.
I've not noticed it happening ever with Win XP at home though!!! :-))
