This is a good point. Windows 7 is much quicker than older Windows versions to stick the label "Not responding" on an application when that application stops updating the UI (because it's busy with something else). 
In older versions, when the "Not responding" label appeared, you generally knew your application had crashed. In Windows 7, this isn't true anymore.
