Do you ever know what a kernel is?

Absolutely. I used to write kernel-level code all the time. Do you want an honest debate -- or are you going to split hairs?

[dheretic]

I wouldn't have an issue with what you're saying if you would stop saying that Windows is just a kernel or that Linux is more than a kernel. Saying that Linux is a whole OS is like saying that an engine is an entire car.
