Neither "purposefulomission" nor "amnesia." Rather pragmatism. Nachos, ReactOS, QNX, and many others are left unmentioned, too. From these QNX has been _really_ successful in the real world and it's fully POSIX. MOS is a book for teaching the natural way to students not the (fruitless) deviation to "hackers." Plan 9 is _for now_ a marginal player. Just a look at how...

> s/completely/almost &/ Please don't try to educate me P. G. Microsoft got themselves into lots of trouble to make NT almost POSIX compliant and to also create a fully POSIX compliant subsystem (SFU/SUA/Interix). Everybody knows that.
