> Windows has become fairly good over the years at keeping the core UI responsive even when the system is under heavy load. I would say that's debatable. There are fewer complete freezes that require a restart, but things like the task manager (can't get much more core than that), which used to be instantly available and responsive if the machine was recoverable at all, now can take tens of seconds to show up and and respond to interactions under heavy load.
