Since you ignored my question, I'll ask it again.

> But how is this line germane to the original point again? That somehow being a microkernel means that it can't be a unix like design OS?

Please provide an example of an UNIX descendant from Bell Labs implemented microkernel.

POSIX userspace doesn't count, by that measure even an Amiga OS is sundenly an UNIX kernel.

Also a reference CS book in UNIX microkernels architecture would be welcomed.

Even Tanebaum doesn't call Minix 3 a UNIX, rather UNIX inspired.

Your original post says "UNIX style", not "UNIX descendent from Bell Labs". Don't shift goalposts.
OSF/1 counts I think.
