Being one who is subject to having things taken out of the context in
which I meant them (and I accept that part of the fault lies with me),
I'll take a stab at what he might have meant.
Maybe he was saying, "Unlike Microsoft Plug-n-play (and play and play)
devices that can crash the operating system, we will have devices on
a robust OS, with robust drivers, that will handle problems, report them,
recover, and continue working".
Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.
