Did you ever use BlackICE? I worked on Windows drivers in the early 90's and all of our systems had BlackICE running which was like a hypervisor debugger with full hardware control: you could CTRL-ALT-TAB into it and halt the OS at any point and save state. The basic debug strategy was to break to BlackICE on fault, handle it with a macro, and save the OS from crashing. Super useful, also great for breaking copy protection on games. ;-)
