Says "kernel runs just like any other program" and proceeds to launch a VM to run it, because it would "mess up the system" otherwise. I liked the article, but it feels like it's leaving out the critical piece.
That was my reaction as well. It's a fun headline, but a kernel is not "just a program". To try to assert it's like a normal program forces you to question your definition of a program. If I hold a voltimeter and switch between hot and cold wires, am I a program now?
When you read the article the headline starts to make sense. I wouldn't have read it based on the headline. Thankfully you read it nevertheless and praised it. :)

OK, yeah, that's actually really helpful. Anyone who plays around with Linux at all, give this a read. Good stuff.

So which is the part where I add Hannah Montana? Jokes aside, very interesting and easy to read.
