- msh 10y agobut then we could not really have multi tasking.
- digi_owl 10y agoThing is, i feel multitasking is what allows so much crap (botnets, ransomware, etc) to flourish.
- Feneric 10y agoThere were systems that embraced both models. Remember the Amiga? When using it for work it'd run off of hard drive and would multitask between productivity apps. Some games though required the isolated boot model. Personally I always found the isolated boot model to be kind of a pain (and even now I prefer VMs over native boots for running non-native software), but I can see why some like it.
