To me this book seemed more than just a history of operating systems. It seemed like a book on epistemology, with operating systems used as metaphors for how humans interface with underlying reality. Did anyone else get that impression? Tim Shell 21:42, 7 Aug 2004

Is there another copy of the annotated and updated version of this book out there? all the links I find point to an old copy which is no longer online--Gsham 03:09, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Factual errors?

In the factual errors section, this looks rather like original research, or a book review. Does the c/cpp mistake really make a difference to the historical significance of this essay? Ojw 21:01, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. It's not even really an error unless you interpret it that way. — Omegatron 21:40, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
