OSNews, Generic OSes As a programmer and manager of embedded software products for a living, I think that operating system programming is so much fun that it will eventually be outlawed. I've previously published two articles on OSNews, So, you want to write an operating system and Climbing the kernel mountain, and tried to summarize my experience in designing operating system kernels as well as technical traps that can be easily avoided.

Kernel programmers still should write

Face it the author missed a rather large point when he said lets build a new OS around this filesystem and then someone ports it to Linux with great sucess this is called INNOVATION and this is how new ideas are formed. the same feature may never become apparent or desirable in Linux until it is seen somewhere else--hobbist are how things progress after all corps and people trying to keep the enterprise customers happy waste all day making small tweaks to existing thing hobbist go out and invent something new. So I would have to say interesting read but 100% WRONG.
