I think that I first misunderstood you. I thought you mean that an OS will crash on a computer that is partially based on quantum components. But now I realized that you probably mean that there will never be a computer that is completely based on quantum technology. But if some well known proprietary OS is using quantum technology, it would explain its sometimes unpredictable behavior. ;-) -- Regards wabe
