OS comparisons to classical literature

Multics – Iliad

  • Full of heroes & exploits.
  • Modern firepower renders most of its tactics obsolete.

Unix – Aeneid

  • Studied in more classrooms than the Iliad.
  • Doesn’t make it better or more of a success.
  • Different language, different cultural matrix, different goals.

OS/360 – Internal revenue code

  • Widely studied but only a few consider it epic.

MSDOS – Gilligan’s Island
Mac OS – Cheers
Windows – Married, With Children
