The Linux kernel has not been rewritten (well, not as a whole anyway) since day 1. And it has become "the official kernel of planet earth". Good thing there's no MBA telling Linus what to do Smiley

The same as true of the NT kernel, or the CE kernel for that matter.

The only kernel rewrite from scratch that MS has done was when they built NT to replace the DOS/Windows kernel. And that was definitely a good call. Smiley
