Hello the Win2000 and WinNT is also based on a old Unix kernel, and that
explains the stability of Win2000, there are other things than Windoze
and MacOS have you ever heard about realtime kernel like BeOS and
rtlinux for exanple? Hi-Performace Fileformats like BeFS and ReiserFS?
The way I see it theres a lot more to come.
