- Hi Gary,
-
- I'll tell You why!. Reliability!.
-
- IMHO the worst problem of our operating system right now is it's imunity to
- craches. After many years where UNIX and all it's clones wore the only realy
- reliable systems, W95 has now cought up, and supplys MEM protection for 32bit
- applications. It may not be crash proof now, but it's well on the way. This
- leaves our beloved operating system behind, and people looking to develope new
- systems of any kind, will take into account the realiability of the system. I
- feel that You will not have a truly reliable system without supplying MEM
- protaction in hardware. Some people have recently argued that there are ways
- of improving reliability without providing MEM protection, and if their right,
- I will fully support that efford., but I must stress that I find it crutial to
- the operating system that it becomes virtually crash proff, if it's to survive
- in the future.
