[QUOTE="Brahman, post: 1047583, member: 11847"] Windows is not a monolithic kernel operating system, it's a hybrid one, protection of kernel alone wouldn't achieve anything, it also needs to protect user space too. The restricted access systems do exist where both kernel and user space are isolated and locked down and you usually see them in ATM s where user has no permission to change file systems. But it's impractical in regular use. So your argument that " kernel is isolated and protected hence windows is more secure" does not inspire confidence. [/QUOTE]
