You have to remember this was the 90's and it was a different time back then. I think there's a tendency to compare Windows in the 90s with how Linux is now. This was the same era as Mac OS 9 where a single application could still crash the entire system.

Exploiting common faults in Linux system software was pretty easy back then too.
