Story: Linux kernel: Moving closer to Windows?
He has absolutely no clue what he's talking about:
- VMS is nothing like Unix
- the kernel architecture between Linux and NT are so different that they literally, like apples and oranges, cannot be compared on a technical basis
- Linux and Minix have no technical overlap at all
- he clearly has no understanding of Molnar's work on the Linux kernel (and quotes him out of context)
- he presents the fact that Windows handles its windowing in-kernel as if it's a good thing when in fact this is one of the larger flaws in the NT kernel design which has lead to many of the security flaws and stability issues that have plagued NT for so long
In short, if a technically accurate statement is ever uttered by this man one had best chalk it up to sheer luck! Egads...
