A hybrid kernel has characteristics of both microkernels and monolithic kernels. Inter-Process Communication (IPC), thread management, filesystems, and drivers reside in the kernel space. Some system processes run in the user space such as OS/2 support (os2ss.exe) and POSIX+Unix subsystem (psxss.exe).
Some examples of hybrid kernel operating systems include Windows NT, Dragonfly BSD, Haiku, AmigaOS, Inferno, and eComStation.
