If you want to belabor the point...

Even on Windows, the crash parachute doesn't actually come out until the dialog
is confirmed; until then, you have a fullscreen, crashed app blocking you from
doing much of anything at all. Therefore, the dialog must ALWAYS appear
onscreen somewhere, and the mouse made free to click on it (or at a minimum,
give it keyboard focus). At least, in theory. Practice? I really don't know.
So, write up a quick program that engages a fullscreen D3D9 context and
promptly crashes, and have people test it on various Windows / hardware
combinations to get a more solid idea of *actual* Windows behavior.
