> There isn't anything the Windows kernel can do that the Linux or a BSD kernel can't which is my point. Oh there is. Like pervasive ACLs on all kernel objects, e.g., processes. User-ids (SIDs) based on a distributed authority model rather than a simple int. Then there's asynchronous IO that's still not usable in Linux. Etc, etc...
