You already know that Google is making a buzz with their new Chrome  
browser.
Go download and test it if you didn't do yet (www.google.com/chrome/,  
Windows only for now).

It is heavily multi-threaded and uses separate process for each window,  
each tab, each plugin etc. When one tab hags or a plugin crashes, nothing  
bad happens. The browser continues working as if nothing changes. It even  
has a built-in process manager, try opening youtube.com and killing a  
flash player plugin.

You can read the whole story at www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/

This is an example of process-based designs implementation which is what  
D2 aims at, and it is clearly a success.
