You know, I really hate being placed in the position of having to come to
the defense of an MS product, but that was a cheap shot that has no merit.

Who among us has not seen a poorly written application on the AS/400? I
couldn't begin to count the number of times that I've seen an unhandled
exception message caused by some RPG programmer who was to lazy to code an
error handler. The saving grace was that OS/400 isolated the program and
allowed it to be brought down without affecting any other jobs on the
system. Do you actually expect OS/400 to prevent an application program from
crashing? Of course not. So why do you expect it from Windows, or *nix or,
(insert your favourite OS here)?
