Did you even read the link that you gave me?
the link was sent to the list well after my request to you for the M$
thing on Microkernels to which you gave an arrogant ``check for
yourself" advice which i decided to follow.
Quoting the link that you gave me
( http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/reliable-os/ ) :
Its RIGHT THERE! In the article itself, Windows NT! It may not be tons
of info but it would've definitely stopped you from making that remark
you made!
i mearly asked, you never replied. Since you didn't i posted the link.
By the way in a mail earlier to this one i have talked about
Singularity.

Windows is a mess and a new approach is needed. Even the people working
on Vista see they have a problem and are moving drivers into user space,
precisely what I am advocating.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Geez...does he even know what a MESS Vista really is?? It was a big
FAT /ENGINEERING/ failure! They have about 10% of the features that they
had originally planned...
The article is dated 12 May 2006 if you cared to look.
Next time, please do read up well before entering into such debates.
Such 'goof ups' really discredit you..!
i don't think that was a goof up at all. Since you had made a
statement i mearly asked you back it up with any factual proof - a
research paper, a book, a link or whatever since you never bothered
doing so i decided to check up facts myself and post the needful and i
did so in the most honest manner possible that covers all points
related to our discussion/flame.
In fact the link should have been posted by you :-)
Anyway, my apologies PT on continuing this flame. But this was one i
just had to respond to.
