ASSERT doesn't make a blue screen on Vista

NTDEV
1

I’ve noticed (with horror, I must add) that failed ASSERT does no longer
cause a crash if a debugger isn’t connected, as it did in XP. Is there a fix
for this problem? I couldn’t find anything about it in the DDK or debugger
help.

Oh is this bug back? They did this before: running asserts through a
checked build only breakpoint. The solution is to not depend on the
WDK’s assert but to write your own.
