If only computers would let you know when they’ve reached their breaking point before they just up and collapse. Wouldn’t that be nice? But wait, Windows 7 (& Vista) will do just that! It’s called the Resource Exhaustion Prevention feature!
Just the other day, Windows alerted me that it was out of memory– and I was able to respond by closing an unneeded window. It was almost like I could hear Windows panting: ”I’m out of *gasp* win-go-juice here. Need *gasp* rest or you might *gasp* lose data . . . “

- *gasp*
Running out of memory of course isn’t a good thing but running out of memory, crashing or freezing, then losing data- well that just sucks!
For more information, check out this great link from one of my favorite Windows sites! And here’s Microsoft.
