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.
