Hello Shap,
Thanks for the article.
From Shap's rebuttal:
"There are no demonstrated examples of highly secure or highly robust
unstructured (monolithic) systems in the history of computing."
Maybe I am not understanding the definition of "highly secure" systems,
but OpenBSD comes to mind for an exmaple of a highly secure, monolithic
system.

Could someone refute these statements for me? Or do you agree with Linus'
that microkernels are actually not easier to maintain?
Very important: this isn't what Linux said. What he said is that
microkernel-based *systems* are not easier to maintain. He wasn't making
a statement about microkernels themselves. The statement about
microkernel-based systems is very obviously wrong, and there is ample
evidence that it is wrong.
