At the heart of the operating system, there has to be a
loop of some sort to keep everything going. I'm curiuos
as to what type of loop it is.

Is it a While(!shutdown) ...

Do ... While(!shutdown) ...

A for(;;

loop

Or something else?

I'm not really sure where to post this question, but this
forum seemed somewhat related.
