The bottom Layer (the "base" or the "root") is the kernel and has nothing to do
with the middle layer or user layer .

Are you saying the top layer the user layer is the permissions and you saying
is better in windows?

Windoes 2000,XP,vista and 7 is base on TN.
Windoes 9.x and befire 9.x was a single user system.

What do you mean? Can yo elaborate?
And why does windows not use the three layer system?
