Minux has done exactly what it was designed to do: be a simple kernel that can 
be studied by students. It was intended for study and research, not 
production use. Andrew Tannenbaum refused to turn it into the general-purpose 
kernel that a lot of people wanted. Those people went to develop/use Linux 
and the BSDs.
