Analogy : Imagine an automobile that is
modular and easily adaptable. Individual
parts like the engine, transmission, or
entertainment system can be swapped out.
Essential functions like memory
management and scheduling are kept to a
minimum in microkernel operating system.
Extra features like file systems and device
drivers are implemented as distinct user-
space processes.
More flexibility and simpler
maintenance are made
possible by this structure,
which is comparable to
changing individual
automotive parts without
having to replace the
complete vehicle.
