Well, it's a bit different. Windows OS will "know" when an app violates the
rule because the processor will generate a page fault interrupt, so that the
operating system can prevent corruption of memory belonging to itself by
user programs. The TI-OS has no way of detecting such things, and will
probably crash if the program was not careful in writing to OS memory.
