Nonsense. Tanenbaum has forgotten more about operating systems than most of us will ever know. But when you teach a subject, especially at the introductory level -- I'm teaching operating systems right now, using Tanenbaum's text -- you have to abstract out certain details and omit some others entirely. --Steven M.
