I've always wondered why sometimes I will restart computer and an error will come up and say " this file is corupted, use windows repiar to fix it, blah blah", anyone know why?
 
Any type of hardware failure can cause odd corruptions to occur. Also buggy drivers can wreak havoc on a system since they run in kernel mode, pretty much anything on your system is fair game. If you're lucky it'll just cause the system to BSOD but if you're unlucky it'll silently corrupt stuff in the background until it hits something important and then causes a BSOD.

Also uncleanly unmounting a filesystem can cause data to be lost, i.e. unplugging a Firewire/USB drive without going through the unplug hardware thing or powering off the box without shutting down properly.
 
They should develop the os independent from the software so that the software cannot conflict with operating system. Then only the manufacturer could release updates and less failures. Maybe theres something major im not seeing that limits this.

Pretty much all software developed for Windows is done seperately from the OS, so who are they and what software are you talking about?
