A fascinating presentation, thank you for the link. After watching this it does seem like a good idea to switch to microkernels from monolithic in the long run, just to keep the drivers out of the kernel. But I can't help but think he is overemphasizing the unreliability of existing OSes. Even Windows isn't what it used to be, and GNU/Linux just seems to never crash. Since I've figured it out and can surely say that I don't unintentionally break something, I've had to reboot a computer by reseting maybe 2 times in one year (and I use my machines a lot!).
