Wow I have never seen this before. All the other incredulities aside I was very surprised by this: >"I got another clue when your engineers began asking me to make a number of changes to MINIX, for example, making the memory footprint smaller and adding #ifdefs around pieces of code so they could be statically disabled by setting flags in the main configuration file." Why would Intel ask Tannenbaum to make changes for them? Doesn't intel have unlimited resources?
