A89: supervisor vs usermode...




I'm just curious about the difference between supervisor and 
usermode...Actually why does there even have to be 2 different 
modes...wouldn't everything be just as easy (easier) w/ 1 mode which has 
access to all components....ie: interrupts...???  Could someone possibly 
explain the main differences betweeen these 2 modes and perhaps why it is 
even necessary???
