The system gets more reliable (one component should not be able to crash
the whole system, and a "component" here can be e.g. a driver), the
software becomes easier to maintain (as you can efficiently split it up
in multiple parts), I'm sure there is more. This is just for multiserver
OSes.

I think much of linus' posting is about microkernels and not multiserver
OSes.
