An interesting article has been making its way around the internet the past few days, titled "Top 10 Usability Highs Of Mac OS". Mac OS X indeed does some things very, very right, just like many other operating systems and graphical environments do some things very, very right. The issue with the list of the article in question is that many of the items on the list are not exactly examples of "Usability Highs" at all.

No, there is no watchdog daemon to return control to the user. Once the kernel panics, user-space is not run anymore. Unless it is set for a timed reboot or a kdump, the kernel goes into an idle loop and that is the end of everything.
