Re:The problem with Linux is not the kernel!

The problem is not the GNU collection. It's the fact that every distro team spends a lot of efforts to make it unique. Instead of making it working. Like the *BSD distros.

Or copying the Windows kernel, which had it before OSX existed or, copying any other OS that had it before Windows.

File change notifications aren't exactly new.

Or venders of backup software.

Or venders of desktop software, like Google Desktop which picks up new files instantly, or iPhoto which gets new photos as they are created, or Windows Explorer which updates its view automatically when a change is made without the need for polling.
