Summary: This book is no good
Comment: I used this book as the textbook for my course at Loyola Univ. (Chicago). It is as bad as other books written by consultants. The professional habit of consultants is to make easy problems hard, while professors' habit is to make hard problem easy. This book uses many unnecessary classifications to inflate pages, shows many incorrect approaches before finally gives the right answer. These can really make students confused. I sold the book as soon as the semester is over.

Summary: Very Good with overviews of UNIX, NT, VMS
Comment: This was used as the text for an operating systems class I took at U of Missouri, St. Louis. I found it very good with many tables and diagrams. Many chapters discuss how concepts were implemented in specific OSes such as UNIX, NT, and VMS so you get some familiarity with modern systems. Excercises at the end of each chapter are good but no answer key!
