I agree. The job of the operating system is to sandbox processes so that 
when one dies, it is isolated from all the others, which it does a 
reasonably good job doing (but it could do better). The CPU hardware 
certainly is set up to support this. You can even run Windows entirely in a 
virtual machine!
