I'm surprised that something so incredibly prevalent is so rarely discussed.

Much of the tech community views this as "settled" thanks to the Linux versus Tannenbaum debate.

Microkernels aren't going away any time soon. :-)

Oh I know - I meant more "running L4 kernels", with the seL4 currently looking quite interesting.

At what point do you conclude that you're:

* running everything in hypervisor X, thus hardware support doesn't matter * running only servers, thus desktops don't matter * and thusly, may stand more to gain from an environment that never catered to the above two?
