    Will the Linux kernel replace the Windows kernel?


    We were chatting at work recently and someone suggested that perhaps Microsoft should replace the Windows kernel with Linux.
    That is, keep the "wrap" ... the parts seen by users ... but scrap the underlying kernel.
    - Cost savings for Microsoft ... no more kernel to support
    - Performance benefit for users ... the Linux kernel can run circles around Windows

    It makes sense and it has me wondering ...

    :)

    Exquisitely sensitive stability testing - the linux kernel!

    its not advisable to argue with a Wizzard he might turn you into a toad
    and no one runs stress tests under linux
    unless Linux is there main os .... and who runs Linux as there main os .... no one /trolling the linux kernel is not a TOOL for anything its a Kernel ... I suggest you go read up on the subject windows has a Kernel to and its far more sensitive to OC faults then Linux

    I do on both counts.

    I disagree with your statement: if it [the windows kernel] were far more sensitivity to OC faults, you wouldn't need to rely on the stress tester itself to inform you of a fault. It would tell you before they happen as what I posted does.

    The whole point of my post was to give you a tool to, "detect instabilities in your overclock settings with both greater accuracy and sensitivity than either Prime95 or IBT/LinX." Guess I should have extended the statement to encompass the windows kernel as well.
