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.
