Linux The Linux kernel process scheduler, as you know it, has been completely ripped out and replaced with a completely new one called Completely Fair Scheduler. How fair it will be, remains to be seen. Here's what its original creator Ingo Molnar says: "80% Of CFS's design can be summed up in a single sentence: CFS basically models an 'ideal, precise multi-tasking CPU' on real hardware." Learn more about the new scheduler from the CFS design document.

I truly hope it works out.
Linux has become the forefront of OS development (and I mean kernel,drivers etc.)

It's very nice to see the OS that is being actively developed and enhanced.

The fact that more and more emphasis is put on the performance - it's just great!
