I'm not saying that you are wrong, but when you disagree with the designers of every major operating system you might want to take a little time out to consider why that is the case.onlyonemac wrote:
- Application will stop execution momentarily as the next section is read from disk, which could cause problems in a timing-critical section of code
- Loading of application cannot be verified before execution begins as no checksum can be calculated (as data is read on an on-demand basis, so a corrupt application file cannot be detected)
- User may remove disk while application is executing, leading to failure when next section is required
