Microkernel architecture works because Hurd is not a kernel program. Hurd is actually a platform that is made up of numerous binaries and its purpose is to replace the traditional Unix kernel; I repeat Hurd is not a kernel program. Many people are confused about what is the nature of Hurd and they continue to spread confusion about what it is. You clear up confusing by being precise, not by misattributing attributes.

Ok you're right I said that it's a kernel, but the Hurd actually is more than a kernel, because it contains one - GNU Mach. It isn't a typical Unix kernel, but a microkernel with set of protocols and servers around it.
