If we read of one man robbed, or murdered, or killed by accident, or one house burned, or one vessel wrecked, or one steamboat blown up, or one cow run over on the Western Railroad, or one mad dog killed, or one lot of grasshoppers in the winter, - we need never read of another.

The need for reliability greatly influenced the design of the operating system. What was the best way to isolate applications, so that their failure would not bring down NT too? Cutler's answer was to split the operating system into two major pieces. One piece was the "kernel," which never interacted directly with applications and thus couldn't be contaminated by them. The other piece was the graphical, visible portion of the operating system. To
