I think we could spend a long time discussing the relative strengths and weaknesses of hypervisors and traditional operating systems. It&#x27;s definitely not a one-size-fits-all situation (which is kind of what you&#x27;re implying).<p>In any case, I was not arguing that hypervisors are superior to traditional operating systems. I was simply pointing out why the comparison of unikernels to macos8 and calling it a &quot;regression to the stone age&quot; was missing the point entirely, because of the distributed nature of modern applications.
