Its also stands for Hardware Abstraction Layer in windoze which is about
as helpful as it's namesake.
For instance if you changed your hard drive and your graphics card you
may not be able to boot your pc anymore, at that point your penny should
really be dropping;)
Apple makes a mockery of such a setup: I once simply copied the OS9
system folder from a B&W G3 to a G4 iBook which only had OSX and hey presto!
I know OSX wouldnt do that as well, but I still think it makes "them"
look bad;)
