>For instance, MINIX 3 is already quite robust for a system that's had hardly any work at all on it. Windows and UNIX systems each took around a decade to approach that. Just the driver isolation by itself goes a long way.

MINIX3 also has hardly any work done WITH it, so I don't think we can compare it to Windows and UNIX systems regarding robustness, unless we submit it to the same wide range of scenarios, use cases and work loads...

I'd like to see a battery of tests to see where it's truly at. Yet, there's still not a MINIX Hater's Handbook or something similar. That's more than UNIX's beginnings can say. ;)
