How long ago did Intel invent the 80386 processor with /hardware/ capability to keep bad tasks from hampering the operating systems?

How long did KleinWeich (aka Micro$oft) have the chance to make good use of that?
Any maker of kitchen knives is being held responsible for any damage resulting from the use of their product (if not today, then surely tomorrow), but software license agreements tell a different story
