I doubt you can. You seem like the typical "I hate Windows but use it anyway" person, though. Microsoft is not to blame here. If they wouldn't ever change anything, there would be no progress at all. Developers have to adapt, and most of them do. Stefan did not, and won't.
On an unrelated note, you're only getting BSODs if your hardware is faulty (not Microsoft's fault) or if you're an idiot (not Microsoft's fault). Can't comment on RRODs though.

The Blue Screen of Death (also known as BSoD, Blue Screen Error, or Bluescreen), known officially as a Stop Error [1] or a bug check, is the error screen displayed by the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems upon encountering a critical error, of a non-recoverable nature, that causes the system to crash. The term is named after the color of the screen generated by the error. In Unix-based operating systems, a similar term is kernel panic.

No, you can also get BSOD on software issues.. and yes I do know what GTK is.. I have used it in many crossplatform projects because the Windows API's for graphical interfaces don't work for other operating systems. As for RRoD.. it usually means hardware failure and most commonly wire shortage. People often wrap them in blankets to get them to melt back in place or send them back in.. Point is microsoft makes shitty stuff usually.
And you're pretty much admitting, microsoft made a change that caused it to not work.. period.. yes, ofcourse stefan could make changes to adapt.. but microsoft is at blame for breaking it..our pretty much saying if windows was to completely redesign itself to use totally different style.. like cloning themselves to be a mac.. that it would be stefans fault that it no longer works.. which makes no sense at all? do you see where I am coming from?
Imagine doing math homework in school. You read the instructions on the paper.. you follow them.. you turn the paper in and get an "F" not because your answers are wrong, but because the instructions changed after you turned them in? Who's to blame?
I only use that example, because computers use instructions and microsoft changed them after the fact..
