Not necessary but it has happened before.
Yes.
No ! They try hard to make them safe, but they are inherently unsafe.
No
It is inherently greater than the importance of testing software for systems characterized by unsafe criticalness. :o

In Windows Programming the application programs call windows API function directly. The applications run in the windows environment i.e. operating system itself. These types of applications are called unmanaged or unsafe applications.In .NET Programmingthe application programs call .Net Base Class library functions which will communicate with operating system. The applications run in .Net Runtime environment. These types of applications are called as managed or safe applications. The .Net Runtime starts code execution, manages threads, provides services, manages memory etc. The detailed description is provided in next section. The .Net Base classes are fully object-oriented. It provides all functionalities of traditional windows API along with functionalities in new areas like accessing database, internet connections and web services.
A system is in a safe state only if there exists a safe sequence of processes P1, P2, �, Pn where:For each Pi, the resources that Pi can still request can be satisfied by the currently available resources plus the resources help by all Pj, j
They are 2 different things, not compatible in nature. However, you can have a project to have iOS, Windows, Linux, etc all running under your new open source operating system, then the answer may be yes. Windows, from the other hand, never have open source in mind, so itself is definitely not going to have features compatible to open source. (if there is any, it is accidental, and Microsoft may take that away in the future)
The biggest difference is the greatly improved security updates with XP. There are less glitches and breakdowns with XP. The following is from Microsoft's website:Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), Windows 95, and Windows NT Workstation do not include many of the security features of our latest operating system, Windows XP with Service Pack 2.We recommend that you upgrade your operating system by acquiring Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Home Edition so that you can take advantage of the many security features introduced since the operating system you are using was released.Benefits to upgrading to Windows XP with SP2 include: * Windows Security CenterEnables you to manage your computer updates, your firewall, and even your antivirus software with a single view of important settings and tools. Also provides alerts when security settings are at risk. * Windows FirewallHelps increase computer security and reduce the risk of network and Internet-based attacks as soon as you start your computer. Turned on by default and built-in to your operating system. * Automatic UpdatesHelps you automatically stay up-to-date with the latest updates for your operating system. Also includes new technology to make it easier for dial-up customers to download updates. * Internet Explorer download monitoringWarns you about potentially harmful downloads and gives you the option to block files that could be malicious. * Internet Explorer Add-on ManagerEnhances security and reduces the potential for crashes by allowing you to manage Internet Explorer add-ons (programs that have been added to the Web browser). * Internet Explorer Pop-up blockerMakes browsing the Internet more enjoyable by enabling you to reduce unwanted ads and content. * Attachment ManagerMonitors and disables potentially unsafe e-mail attachments, which could contain viruses that might spread through Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, and Windows Messenger. * Outlook Express privacy updateHelps reduce unwanted e-mail by limiting the possibility of your e-mail address being validated by potential spammers.
hi, First of all let me tell you one thing that before Microsoft there was very little scope for personal computers and softwares related to those computers. Still there were some softwares and software building programming languages. FORTRAN or formula translation, the first high level programming language, was invented by John Backus for IBM, in 1954, and released commercially, in 1957. It is still used today for programming scientific and mathematical applications. Fortran began as a digital code interpreter for the IBM 701 and was originally named Speedcoding. John Backus wanted a programming language closer to human language, which is the definition of a high level language. At that time the softwares available were Aldus Pagemaker, Trillian, Wordstar, Computer Chess, VisiCalc Spreadsheet. WordStar - The First Word Processor Released in 1979 by Micropro International, WordStar was the first commercially successful word processing software program produced for microcomputers and the best selling software program of the early eighties. first desktop publishing program was created by Paul Brainard and a company called Aldus, the program called "Aldus Pagemaker 1.0" was released in July, 1985 for the "Macintosh" and in December, 1986, for the "IBM". If you go with the history of operating system than previously there was nothing except UNIX.
Any motorized vehicle can be dangerous and unsafe, the key is to respect the vehicle in which you are operating. The rider should be familiar in the operation of the 4 wheeler and if it is purchased for a younger person they should at all times be supervised.
