[QUOTE="Tutman, post: 946559, member: 87079"] Well forget about Windows 11... I am just going to go back to using the Amiga! :p I mean look at this... (straight from their wiki page!) The kernel was just 13kb !! [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Exec[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] is the kernel of AmigaOS. It is a 13 KB multitasking microkernel which enabled pre-emptive multitasking in as little as 256 KB of memory[/COLOR] (as supplied with the first Amiga 1000s). Exec provided functions for multitasking, memory management, and handling of interrupts and dynamic shared libraries. It acts as a scheduler for tasks running on the system, providing pre-emptive multitasking with prioritized round-robin scheduling. Exec also provides access to other libraries and high-level inter-process communication via message passing. Other comparable microkernels have had performance problems because of the need to copy messages between address spaces. Since the Amiga has only one address space, Exec message passing is quite efficient. The only fixed memory address in the Amiga software (address 4) is a pointer to [ICODE]exec.library[/ICODE], which can then be used to access other libraries. Exec was designed and implemented by Carl Sassenrath. [/QUOTE]
