Thanks for the book. Unlike most UNIX fans, he's unusually honest in his critiques of it and even references material from UNIX Hater's Handbook haha. His comparisons to other OS's are fair except for the robustness of VMS: main reason many companies kept using it despite its uncertainty. Downloading it to re-read and see if I find some more enlightenment as a system designer.
