RE: How does the Kernel in a Linux system differ from ...
got to think from OS and usage perspectives..
(i am a linux & unix guy, so my explanation may seem anti-wdos)

linux - monolithic kernel, open source, 1000s of reviewers, supports loadable kernel modules, multiprocessing capable.

wdos - microkernel, closed source, M$ reviewers, supports loadable external modules that run as separate services (to provide a stable kernel, but still BSOD happens)


this is just brief
