I don't think so, because this would mean that NT is microkernel and
VMM is monolithic...
What's VMM?
The Virtual Machine Manager. The true 32-bit operating system under
"Windows 386 enhanced mode" (but unbounded to Windows itself).
And I'll admit that I don't know much of the internal structure of NT,
but I'm pretty sure that at least until 4.0, you could have device
drivers that would run in kernel mode, which would be indicative of a
monolithic kernel. Perhaps you misunderstood what I meant? (Just
asking 'cause I know that under the best circumstances I can be
cryptic sometimes, lol).
No, but I believed that drivers in WinNT run in usermode (ring3) whereas
in VMM they run at ring0, or at least, they have IOPL0.
Sure. Take your time ;-)
Take my time with what? Sorry, but my brain has nearly shut down ;-).
To find for the URL you promised ;-)))
