"The kernel for the Intel architecture is, I think, at this point mostly figured out. Microkernel had its shot and on Intel we have seen that it's too slow" Does that judgment include QNX? I'm under the impression that it has quite a good p

"It doesn't protect you from someone just looking at your blueprint and implementing it." I don't think this is true. You are creating a derived work, after all. Googling for blueprint and copyright shows that copyright disallows unauthoriz

"You're saying that Agile is good because it's isomorphic to any successful, minimal ad hoc process that fits the project." Well, that's kind of true: http://agilemanifesto.org/ You are mixing scrum and agile.

"Upshot: If you don't care that your hardware is certified, you don't have to implement secure boot in the way Microsoft requires for certification." No, upshot is that for ARM you can't get Windows at all (certified or not) if you allow ot

"And you can't be both ?" His "FOSS advocacy" for the last few years has consistently been solely cheering for every patent and copyright suit against open source software. "Or does that mean that I should ignore anyone who is being paid by

Microsoft and Apple are both suing Motorola for patents, so it would be defensive.
