Yep. Windows will be to its Linux kernel as Aqua to Darwin. Been predicting it for years.

  Impossible. Windows is a modern microkernel architecture. Linux is an Apollo-era monolith.

      Whose creation is running happily on tons of Intel CPUs, putting Linux on its place.

        too bad he didn't know about it at all till a few years ago. That should tell you how much relevance it has to anyone besides Intel.
        • pjmlp 5y ago
          It has the relevance that Linux needs Minix to run on Intel CPUs. As for the relevance for microkernels, they are doing alright outside desktop computers.

            Linux needs IME? :O
