I understand Torvalds' long-standing opinion that microkernels are not the way to go. Fair enough.
What still befuddles me is that he would (allegedly) make such a blanket statement that he knows someone in the press is going to pick up and run with.
You could argue that the alleged quote has received way too much airtime. But that's what happens when you start calling the other guy's toys crap.
There's got to be more here than microkernel bashing. |

I hope that Torvalds has some solid reason to say something like that. And even in this case, the fact that a smart and highly respected guy makes such an arrogant statement, is beyond me. And makes this interview irrilevant, IMVHO. -

I recently read a bashing Linus received from the creator of minix outlining the vulgarity of his 'design' of the Linux kernel. Linus may have never quite recovered from this ;-) Linux has hype and support but it in no way makes Linus the highest authority on kernel architecture and it must be noted that in some camps it is believed that Linux kernel began as a hack and is considered quite vulgar in its implementation.
