Obviously, how the OS handles OOM once it happens is still its responsibility.

Running out of memory on a linux server sounds more like a skill issue than something comparable to how a desktop OS should behave :\

I don't use Windows much, nor do I care much about that environment, but from what I've seen it seems to keep RAM usage below 100% most of the time. What I do see pretty often is the drive getting stuck at 100% usage instead, which makes the whole system ridiculously unusable anyway.
