Re: LINUX is obsolete

viewpoint may be largely unrelated to its usefulness. Many if not
most of the software we use is probably obsolete according to the 
latest design criteria. Most users could probably care less if the
internals of the operating system they use is obsolete. They are
rightly more interested in its performance and capabilities at the
user level.

I would generally agree that microkernels are probably the wave of
the future. However, it is in my opinion easier to implement a
monolithic kernel. It is also easier for it to turn into a mess in
a hurry as it is modified.
