This is truly its greatest fault, yes. Do note, though, that one advantage of
having less software available means less shovelware. Despite being non-
preemptive, classic MacOS crashes much less because the software Macs run
is generally better quality. We don't have everybody and his brother writing
crap that crashes the machine, though we don't have all the good stuff either.
Of course, with OS X.1 now available, this critique too is no longer valid.
