Mr. Torvalds, I understand that you are a very busy man, but would it be possible for you to take a few moments to explain the following statement? I'm very interested for your reasons - it's not often that one gets to hear OS design theory from someone who maintains/develops/architects a real, working, useful OS kernel. I'm sure that many other CS students would be greatful for an explanation on this as well (not to mention those who thought that a pre-emptable kernel would be a good thing). Thank you.
