I sit on our company's architecture review board, and we do a pass on every product that the company does. There are three links that I regularly have grounds to give: The "Linux is obsolete" Debate - http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/opensources/book/appa.html http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/opensources/book/appa.html Taligents Guide to Designing Object Oriented Software: http://www.amazon.com/Taligents-Guide-Designing-Programs-Object-Oriented/dp/0201408880 http://www.amazon.com/Taligents-Guide-Designing-Programs-Obj...

And yet, the monolithic systems (esp Linux) proved to have all the problems predicted. Shapiro did a nice job showing how ridiculous Linus's claim is in Round 2 of the debate, which you left off: http://www.coyotos.org/docs/misc/linus-rebuttal.html http://www.coyotos.org/docs/misc/linus-rebuttal.html Can't help but repeat a main point: there are many high assurance (reliability or security) microkernel-based systems that have been fielded but not a single one has achieved this based on the monolithic model Linus loves. QED.
