Wouldn't it be nice if a home PC was as reliable as a vms system? A gui makes a system more crash prone, but in the case of vms, a gui crash would not bring down the system.

I have only seen BeOS crash rarely. Any futuristic system needs to be responsive to the user and a great system to program for, which is why Haiku is so exciting.

For a good overview of modern OS research, TUNES' wiki has a good page on this:

I've been following the CapROS project for a few years too. It followed up on EROS, the Extremely Reliable Operating System
