Shared libraries

All the *user* cares about is the *single* application which is currently running.

I've lost the context, but iirc it was something about how computers that only run one program at a time are very much a minority. From our PoV as computer guys looking at all the stuff going on in the background that may be true, but from the user's PoV pretty much *every* computer is *single use*.

It's glaringly obvious as soon as you realise, when you're talking about processes, that your typical computer user won't have a clue what you're talking about.

Cheers,
