Xwindows in unix
the question i have is why Xwindows(GUI) is not part of kernel level but part of user level in unix while in windows the GUI (Windows manager) it is part of kernel level.


For one thing is when GUI hangs it does not crash the whole system as in Windows

But windows avoids context switching.....

can i have some other points....

Thanking in advance
