TOS of Falcon actually doesn't have memory leakage if programs are written to exit with right OS call...but many old programs doesn't use memory right way and that makes problem.
Games and demos are biggest problem, because programmers are made them thinking that user reboots computer anyway...especially demos that have nice after-reboot sequence.

I think that TOS 4.04 is the best single-
tasking OS...altough it have many co-operative
multitasking calls...
Also I think that Magic+Jinnee is best multitasking enviroment...if you only use
Magic tested programs. But I don't really
need multitasking and I use plain TOS 4.04.
