>Not to mention Minix running on ~every recent Intel system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine But not as the actual system OS. Minix is doing a very little, running on a little side processor that also does very little. It's not running on the main CPU, nor having to interact with the insane number of possible peripherals that real CPUs and OSes have to interact with, nor with real system loads, nor with many of the other constraints that real OSes have to deal with. Yes, it's there. Yes, it's there in really massive numbers. But, compared to what the OSes are doing on the main CPU, Minix is doing a toy job. So I'm not sure that it counts as evidence for much of anything.
