I'll take your word for it that there is a border between OS and application

To write high quality software that does not crash, you want to write "layers" of code with well define interfaces. You want to create a buffer between "objects" or layers of code. Thus, one layer can not cause problems in other layers. Small in better and easier to manage. It is all about managing and manipulating data. When layers are "integrated", 10 bugs arise for every bug you fixed. Cloning also happens (bloat code) to change different versions of the same code.

Call Forwarding for you telephone switch has 24 different versions.
Guess how many times that 50K lines of code is cloned?

NT is 20 million lines of code? Yea, right. Tell MS to learn OO programming at their next shareholder meeting.
