A decent operating system cannot be crashed by "bad software",
that is elementary. Yes, I know that Windows users get used
to the contrary viewpoint (after all the navy concluded that
the infamous NT blue screen event was due to a faulty

In fact OS/2 always made a point of the fact that it was
crash proof compared to Windows, and OS/2 users do NOT
expect the system to crash, period.
