it is designed to keep the wheels rolling while providing stopping ability, so you maintain steering control. you are correct in stating that a non-abs car can stop faster in snow, because a non-rotating tire will pile snow up in front of it and aid in stopping more quickly.
so there are pluses and minuses with both systems, although it would have been nice if like audi saab had had a disable switch for abs in snowy parking lots :-). of course, we do have lawyers to discourage the manufacturers from that sort of tomfoolery lol. mark :-)
