For you, linux geeks
In the hypothetical case Microsoft opened Windows' source code, what would you do?
[POLL] (1) Linux can go to the recycle bin right now. What a question. (2) I'd consider switching back to Windows. (3) After going the Linux way, I won't go back. (4) I hate Microsoft and Windows is a bloated piece of trash. (5) I'd take a look at alternatives such as SkyOS. (6) Kernel hacking is for losers [/POLL] Jam it back in, in the dark.

A microkernel, instead, runs services in user mode (ring 3) so if a module fails, only that module goes off; the rest of the system isn't affected. However, microkernels are slower due to continuous (user mode <-> kernel mode) switching. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
