For a good demo cd of the potential of L4, take a look at

Out of curosity, what advantages does the L4 Microkernel provide over
the current one?
I'm not sure about the practical value, but L4 can host darwin, linux,
and other "personalities" simultaneously. Very cool. The web page
indicates this is mainly a research project looking into large-scale
microkernel architecture issues. In some ways L4 is looked at as the
successor to Mach, at least in the research context. Whether any of
this will be directly useful to darwin users (today) is kind of
besides
the point. Down the road, though, this kind of research will yield
some
very impressive and cool systems for the next generation of operating
systems.

We've been working on porting Darwin (currently working with the
8.2 source base) to the L4 Microkernel for a while, and now we've
just made a release. The complete source is available, as well as a
QEMU boot image, and instructions for booting on real hardware. See
http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au/software/darbat/ for more details.
Any feedback or questions are welcome.
