That is true, but you can't really prevent a crash. What would a
multitsker do against one of its program doing:
DI
LABEL: JP LABEL
?
With no non-maskeble interrupts (Z80 has them, but MSX doesn't), it is
impossible to get out of the loop, except with a reset... So a multitasker
on MSX probably couldn't even stand a comparison with W95, which imo means
it's really bad....
