Title: Only book to meet its audience's needs
Product review: While this text is getting old, it is still relevant. The concepts presented are still of primary concern. It nicely takes the student thru a simple OS and thru complex ones, e.g. UNIX and IBM's MVS, to introduce virtual memory, paging, scheduling, resource contention, and so forth. And, the student does not need 3 years of CS courses to get thru the book. For a 2 year course, or for those needing to know about Operating systems, but not the "gory" details of coding them, this is an excellent work.I have been teaching with it since the second edition. It took a long time to find a book like this. The student workbook is an excellent addition as well.
