Lack of protected memory is more analogous to the lack of a guard rail than to the lack of seat belts. It protects the infrastructure from the hot doggers, but it does nothing to keep them from crashing their own vehicle. And sane, deliberate, road hugging code only needs it for protection from the hot doggers as well.

Of course protected memory is better. But let's get real Alomex. It's not a flaw. It's a desirable missing feature. Especially in this age of Computer Systems Engineering grads going to work as programmers right out of school at $60,000 a year and under pressure to produce.
