The way memory is allocated on X prevents a program crash becoming a system crash. It's like the Virtual Machine architecture that MS is moving towards. (in reply to Taz)

And if it crashes, nothing else gets touched. I haven't seen the CTP yet though, busy saving my coppers to get an MSDN sub... but I'm perpetually skint (in reply to Taz)

I'm not saying it doesn't crash

- My bad, when I read "also means it doesn't crash, mine doesn't" I thought you meant yours doesn't crash.

those were always due to Media (Such as a DVD/CD or Avi/jpeg/mppeg type codec screw up.

- Well, you can blame a faulty application on itself, but it reflects the performance of the OS's ability to handle it.

quote:

I think most experts lead to the fact it's a non race event anyhoo as the two systems are so different in man ways,

- Macs take up a huge market share (usually in higher end systems), I wouldn't be suprised if MS tries to stick their hand in that area.
