A Kernel Of Failure

quote [ How IBM bet big on the microkernel being the next big thing in operating systems back in the ’90s—and spent billions with little to show for it. ]

... So that's what happened. I remember installing some MACH microkernel'd Debian on my PowerMac 8100/80 in about 2000. Thing was old already - I'd found it in a dumpster, but it had a huge Trinitron monitor that I loved to look at. So not a complete waste of billions I guess, IBM. I mean, I liked it.
