> various OS's are the way they are
It's also horribly misinformed. Though ESR seems to know a good deal about
Unix, his knowledge of other operating system seems to be very shallow. In
particular, some of the statements he makes about BeOS and Windows, the two
operating systems I probably know most about, are really off.
I made it about 3/4 of the way through the book and had to give up. He
degenerates from interesting Unix history and theory to mud slinging random
attacks against Windows and self-aggrandizement.
I started the book hoping to learn something. Besides some interesting
historical tidbits -- mostly provided by other contributors -- the book
offers very little.
