I wonder if it was a veiled reference to the debate between Linus and Andrew Tanenbaum, who wrote MINIX based on OS research that, according to him, showed that microkernels are better than monolithic kernels.

In a funny twist of history MINIX is running at ring -3 on most modern Intel CPUs. So it's probably running on more desktops than MacOS or Linux.

what is the ratio between dynamic and static content amongst say the top100 web sites on the web? Can we say 0% static pages? [yes, i accept Dean Gaudet's point that webpages can be split up into dynamic and static parts, probably that will be the future.]

This is delightful
