That is a question that a lowly PC Tech like me cannot answer, I only know for sure that it does. As an example, I had a system go haywire on me that took me 3 weeks to figure out that Macafee AV and the LS 120 Superdrive could not get along in the same system.

Having built 1,000's of new and used systems, I can definitely tell you that some hardware/software configurations just don't get along, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason for it. I would suspect the way the Windows HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) communicates between the hardware and the software's API(Application Programming Interface, IIRC), but alas, I am not an Engineer. They get paid WAY more to screw the things up that I get to fix.
