So a failure on Windows doesn't necessarily mean that the test is wrong.
Stefan, I know this has been hard for you, and I think video tests are a worst case, but I think we have to push you on these tests.
I think a test that fails, or crashes a system because of a driver bug is a broken test. It's admittedly hard to write a test that will detect a vmware situation or driver bug and work around it, but I think that is what we should do.
It's just like compiling without warnings. Once there are no warnings, it's easy to make sure none creep in. But once just a few are excused as being 'understandable', then a lot more quickly creep in, and no one pays attention to warnings.
