NT is a horrible kernel. I was a windows device driver developer when NT came to our projects. In windows 95 the os was usable after kernel driver crash, but NT did show only the famous blue screen.
Regardless, in recent years, as Windows shed all it's server wannabe aspirations and became a consumer toy, they've implemented a hybrid resurrection mechanism for sound and video drivers which helps a lot. I'd often see the video driver crush and resolutions change without killing my off running gui programs. In linux, where correct data retention is still valued over ui uptime, x server dies with the driver taking all my running applications with it. Wayland would supposedly address these issues one day... But for running poorly written toy programs that don't separate the front end and back end, Windows is still superior.
