No, both NT and Linux kernels are bad because they are monolithic and not sandboxing-first.

NT is hybrid kernel, it has microkernel features, particularly with drivers if I understand correctly.

But that said, I didn't say either were "good", I said that NT is "arguably better".

ETA: I reread my comment; you're right, I actually said that NT "isn't bad at all". I stand by what I said mostly though; that doesn't imply it's "good" necessarily, just that it's arguably better than Linux.

NT is a monolithic kernel and "hybrid kernel" is a pure marketing term. You can move functionality out of the kernel into userspace or not. There is no in-between.

I also don't get why people claim NT is "better." Linux is a modern kernel under very active development.
