the stupid part about overcommit is that it conditions programmers to always assume that memory allocation requests succeed and never implement any error handling programs that gracefully handle an out of memory condition are a rarity nowadays autogrowing page files is also really stupid since a leaky application can grind the whole system to a halt with 100gb of garbage paged out to disk. There should never be a reason to have more than maybe 8gb swap total. iOS having APIs to tell an application "hey clean up your poo poo or i'm going to terminate you" is one of the few things they did better on mobile platforms, the iphone 4 got by on 512mb ram and adding more memory just seems to make developers more wasteful.

The problem on windows is often that the graphics driver is stuck or the foreground crashed app has locked the inputs somehow so they don’t reach the task manager window. Those old Logitech keyboards with the tiny LCD screen built in had a really nice add on where you could manage tasks on that screen and easily kill a crashed foreground application, I miss that
