That's more of a property of Microsoft products than of computers in
general.
Although I did once spend a couple of weeks tracking down a bug in
some VMS code[1] that used shared memory and crashed horribly on
clusters. Of course it didn't actually work properly on a single
machine either but the memory it trampled on wasn't being used by
anything else important...
