%X During the last decade a number of microprocessors appeared
on the market with operating system mechanisms designed into
the firmware e.g. the Intel 80286 which supports segmented
memory management and the 80386 supporting segmentation and
paging. The idea was very attractive as protection amongst
users could be enforced by the hardware. The support of
multi\-users on one processor implied the conventional
strategy of sharing the scarce processor resource amongst
more than one user. The limitations in processing power of
microprocessors did however limit their multi\-user
exploitation.
