I am not out to destroy Microsoft, that would be a completely unintended side effect.

Hmmm, completely a-religious - atheist. I find that people seem to think religion brings morals and appreciation of nature. I actually think it detracts from both.

I never try to make any far-reaching predictions, so much can happen that it simply only makes you look stupid a few years later.

The thing with Linux is that the developers themselves are actually customers too: that has always been an important part of Linux.

Once you realize that documentation should be laughed at, peed upon, put on fire, and just ridiculed in general, then, and only then, have you reached the level where you can safely read it and try to use it to actually implement a driver.

Only wimps use tape backup. Real men just upload their important stuff on ftp and let the rest of the world mirror it.

Personally, I'm not interested in making device drivers look like user-level. They aren't, they shouldn't be, and microkernels are just stupid.
