What Andrew Tanenbaum really thinks

A very interesting article:Some notes on the "Who wrote Linux" Kerfuffle

• He still believes the microkernel is the way to go
  
• OS kernels are (relatively) easy to do
  
• the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution, or more precisely, its president, don't come out at all well. But then none of their articles have been very good so far
  

Well worth the read.
