Thanks for the replies. >From the replies I derived the following: (Please correct me if I am wrong)
The 'windows kernel' is fully modular and so, to add new features, the relevant programs to be installed just plugs in the required module(s), which is equivalent to compiling the modules and doing 'insmod' in Linux. A similar thing as in windows could be done in Linux, provided every Linux user had the same kernel (which would be a dumb thing). I think this explains the reason behind having so many windows versions around. Also does it mean that when Linux is ready for a writable udf filesystem (I mean Packet CD Writing), I will just have to compile the relevant module(s) (and required programs) and 'insmod' the module, without touching my present 2.4.x kernel (provided the module was meant for this kernel) ?
