The Secret Sharer By Conrad
Words: 933 - Pages: 4.... mingling, and clasping, "He caught hold of my arm, but the ringing of the supper bell made me start.

Much of Windows NT's renowned stability is a direct result of the operating system's architecture. Applications can't interfere with one another because they run in separate address spaces. Operating system code and data in the subsystems is protected from applications because subsystems, too, reside in their own address spaces.

It's impossible for an application to corrupt code or data stored in the Windows NT Executive because the p .....
