With Genode (L4), Coyotos, the further opening of QNX and now HelenOS we might finally see a usable micro kernel based OS. The work these people do is at least impressive.

On a side note, I'm still a horrible tetris player.

Although I'm not sure there's too much you can do with microkernels that hasn't already been tried (not that debate again!), it's always nice to see projects spring up encouraging new ideas and new research. We have precious little of it going on these days with the OS landscape dominated by only a handful now.
