Here's a neat feature of Mac OS X. Virtual memory protection for applications. You probably know that when your start up hard disk gets full (under 125MB and less) you get a message that your star up disk is full... but what happens when when you have a dozen of launched applications which require all the installed memory and they can't get virtual RAM from the start up hard disk because it's full? So, here is what happens in situations like that. Well, I can't recall any feature like that in windoze... beside ALT+CTR+DEL... or a fast crash ;) The Macintosh won't crash at all even if you have this message for two days, like I had.
