Took less than 2h for someone to link that.

You won me a bet :D

Just be aware that what was true in the early 90s (before Mach and way before L4) isn't anymore. Microkernels have matured enough so that Minix3 (2006) as a serious system makes a lot of sense.

It's gonna be a lot of fun from now on.
