Great stuff!! And some quotables:

"I still maintain the point that designing a monolithic kernel in 1991 is
a fundamental error.  Be thankful you are not my student.  You would not
get a high grade for such a design :-)"

"An OS itself should be easily portable to new hardware
platforms.  Writing a new OS only for the 386 in 1991 
gets you your second 'F' for this term.  But if you do real well
on the final exam, you can still pass the course."
