Arrogant is hardly the word. Insolent maybe.

true that certainly makes it better.

Say whatever. But when I'm
flaming someone I'm not going get off my big fat arse and post links to
prove my point.

i see. i didn't know you were dragging your arse along with your mouse
pointer. Which GUI do you use? :D

If the "flamee" wishes to confirm what I'm saying, he
may do it at his own expense ( b/w, time, money etc... etc... ) ;)

*sigh* i prefer the scientific method - supply evidence to support a
statement. Especially when the question is one that involves research
related concepts.

And I _wasnt_ referring to singularity. I clearly mentioned in my post
that Win2k / 2k3 was using a semi-microkernel architecture. Obviously
you lost that bit. Fine.

thanks for clearing that i did not assume what you were referring to
hence asked if you were referring to singularity. Since there is no
way for us to ascertain if singularity design was/is being used in the
current M$ systems its still a point of some uncertainty.

Mohan posted this. Did you miss it? or overlooked it?

See page 4.

i did see that only since you were so adamant on ``true microkernels"
and not hybrids or anything lesser it did not qualify.

By May of 2006, it was quite clear that Vista was _ahem_ doomed :P

really? It seems that development was frozen on November 8th, 2007 and
only after that it was it released for testing and eventually made its
way to sections of the general public.

However if you are speaking rhetorically implying that everything M$
makes is doomed from the start that's another matter :P
