I was also enamored with UNIX and later on GNU/Linux as a cheapest way to get UNIX at home. After already some years experience with *-DOS, Netware, Windows and Amiga systems.

But from the point of view of technology stack, innovation seems to be standing still on the UNIX side of things.

Microsoft seems to innovate more in terms of how modern OS stack should look like, in terms of full stack, whereas UNIX clones hardly offer more than "portable" POSIX cli and daemon model APIs.




Again: I'm also not a big ms fan (see my comment on visual studio) but why not comment when downvoting?


I agree completely. I would add however that CoreOS or NetBSD rump kernels are really very innovative.


I agree somewhat, as I meant the whole stack.
