The morphos.net website has been completely redesigned. There are some MorphOS 1.4 screenshots here.
I could notice some new things such as:
An improved preferences system including USB and printing, new skins with preferences and preview, zoom utility, task monitor including CPU meter, JIT statistics, docks, new icons, etc.

How so?

Are you saying that microkernels use shared resources to a higher degree than monolithic ones do? If so: how?

I really wasn't refering to the modules, but since you brought it up... how could there be any more sharing of resources if modules weren't just "clumped together" into the kernel but instead separate units like in a microkernel?

When people (i.e., ordinary people, not people like RMS) talk about "Linux" they usually refer to GNU/Linux.

Copy-on-write is a great way to share data that stay mostly the same (e.g. libraries and other executable code).
The bottom line remains: in what way is MorphOS "built using an idea of shared resources" but Linux isn't? |
