This category is on operating systems (OSs) which main trait is that they have a microkernel architecture. Monolithic kernels (DOS, Linux, most Unix, Windows95/98/Me, etc.) go elsewhere.On this page, OSs are arranged in three groups and levels: 1) Top group: types or classes of OS. 2) Middle group: OSs for which there are more than one instance of an OS of this name/type, an OS family. 3) Bottom group: specific OSs, individual instances; there is only one OS of this name/type.
