Comparing the designs of Windows 3.1, Windows 95, OS/2 Warp Connect, and W
indows NT 3.51 (cont'd)
OS/2 Warp Connect
OS/2 does things differently. For example, 32- and 16-bit applications run in separate VMs, so it's difficult for them to step on each other. You also have the choice of running Win16 applications in either the same or separate memory spaces, making it difficult for them to step on each other. Of course, the OS's core services are largely protected from bad applications.

is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
