Interestingly enough, Microsoft's WindowsNT seems to have been written
in some dialect of Pascal. I note that I have only seen NT crash twice
so far in a little more than a year of use (and one of those was the

engineering staff knows something that their Visual C++ marketing
folks won't tell you.
