But hey, Pennsylvania doesnât want to be perfect. It just wants to consume pretzels at an alarming frequency while ignoring all the bad stuff Ben Roethlisberger probably did and the plot holes in most of the Rocky movies.
A monolithic driver contains the functionality for both the logic to control the hardware and the interface to the operating system and applications in a single DLL. A monolithic driver accesses its hardware device without using an intermediate PDD layer, and it exposes the functionality of the device to the operating system.

5) In Monolithic kernels, the device drivers reside in the kernel space while in the Microkernel the device drivers reside in the user space. 6) Since the device driver resides in the kernel space, it makes monolithic kernel less secure than microkernel, and failure in the driver may lead to crash. Microkernels are more secure than the monolithic kernel, hence used in some military devices.
