    The way I remember it, an errant OS/2 process would often take out the entire PM.

    And your Windows issue is more of an applicaiton issue than an OS one -- IE and the shell share a lot of state, so one can hose the other. This doesn't affect other apps. (Unless you are talking about 9x, in which case no rules apply.)

    I think they're scared by Linux

    I don't think so. A company a worked for switched from Linux to QNX on an embedded a/v/mp3/web wireless player for automotive use due to "viral" GPL restrictions (not kidding either).
