Hi, I have read that wiki page. There is nothing in it. It says *"Many operating systems and kernel experts (incl. Torvalds and Rao) have dismissed the label as meaningless, and just marketing"*. Does it mean that hybrid kernels are bad? I don't think so.
Doesn't NT kernel serves the purpose for Windows? Doesn't XNU kernel serves the purpose for Mac OS X? The "loadable kernel modules" and "fuse" in Linux are actually Micro kernel features. Right? The monolithic Linux kernel also has now a kind of hybrid design.
