hi,

i guess there's something missing in it_
i would say: "a modern general-purpose multiserver microkernel os.."
the 'modern' part of it means the will to create the sound system, usb
/ wifi stacks,
>128Gb disk I/O errors, device drivers/ DDE kit and all the other things
>missing that
a gp os should have nowadays_
the word 'kernel' is rather reductive_
i guess you want to have an os, not just a kernel, but the kernel itself is
(ranging from mach, to l4, to coyotos, viengoos or whatever will possibly be)
built with a microkernel+multiserver architecture_
i would mention that thing as it is a different beast compared to NT,
OSX, Linux, BSD...
it's just words, anyway..
best regards
a.
