The last I saw of CHOICES, about a year ago, it had finally reached
a point where if you did nothing, it would not crash, doing anything
would cause it to crash.  Also, the point of CHOICES was to create a
clean object-orientated operating system, much of which, the Amiga
already has.  Given that it works, I'd say the Amiga is more state
of the art, although I agree that it needs resource tracking and
memory protection.
