Fantastic. There should be a Kernel Mode Disasters show, like Air Disasters, but for OS people.

Sir, this is one of the best explanation about kernel vs user mode I've heard so far. And I'm 30+ years in the IT.

Yeah virtualliztion was a huge step forward for DAWs like Protools with v10 and v11 it's system resouce management got way better and its meters for that are now way better than Task manager and it got control of memory to make its own user sizable scratch disk in ram to run
