Why Mr. Tanenbaum was wrong?
Believing that the user is interested in technical features of the software with which it operates. Andrew Tanenbaum predicted the obsolescence of Linux and the rise of microkernel systems are now well on MorphOS (Quark core) or QNX (Neutrino kernel). Some of us will use the instant BeOS 5.3, but the bulk of users chose GNU / Linux free software and development soared logarithmically. Tanenbaum wrote and compiled Minix because Unix was expensive and students need something simpler to study, then fire again Torvalds provided robbing the gods of multinational corporations to share the code anything, programmers rewrote it from there countless times today is the support of other corporations. Tanenbaum sought by the side of distributed computing possibilities with the microkernel Amoeba while Dennis Ritchie from Bell was engaged in Plan9, today Amoeba Minix has stalled and is just a toy to watch. Not the best technique that thrives but the choice of an object or paradigm for most of the members of a community such as computer or any other. There was a time when MIT hackers UNIX despised and regarded as nonexistent rough BASIC and systems for Intel 8088 microcontroller. The planetary community "chose" Windows and the community of those who need something more flexible chose Linux, but very few and no one can choose QNX system not only more stable but as Real Time OS is much faster than all gotten monolithic and having. Andrew Tanenbaum did not connect the herd behavior of men and ants with kernels computational engineering in systems operating . Evolutionary biology can also be studied in an ecosystem as incorporating cybernetic, process and resolve our brain is cybernetic.

All social systems operating in the interrelations of communities of living organisms and therefore of one form or another are communists.
And Unix is serving 40 years of existence in these months.
The gregarious, always will be above reason, Tanenbaum, only wrong about something, thinking that people are smart.
Tanenbaum was not wrong, unless he has wanted to do something for a "mass".
Surely many followed his own way and others, through this channel opened others own.
Tanenbaum will with yours and I do not feel wrong or just walking alone together.
Will you use MINIX?
