Editorial Review:
Another defining moment in the evolution of operating systems
Small footprint operating systems, such as those driving the handheld devices that the baby dinosaurs are using on the cover, are just one of the cutting-edge applications you'll find in Silberschatz, Galvin, and Gagne's Operating System Concepts, Seventh Edition.
By staying current, remaining relevant, and adapting to emerging course needs, this market-leading text has continued to define the operating systems course. This Seventh Edition not only presents the latest and most relevant systems, it also digs deeper to uncover those fundamental concepts that have remained constant throughout the evolution of today's operation systems. With this strong conceptual foundation in place, students can more easily understand the details related to specific systems.

Rating: - If you take a class...
That uses this as it's text, be worried. The book is decent, but definitely just "concepts," no intensive knowledge is conveyed in it's pages. Oh well.
Rating:  - Somewhat interesting but flawed
This book offers coverage of issues encountered in designing an operating system, but does this in a rather dry and uninteresting manner, using examples and diagrams which are somewhat contrived and confusing at times.
Its code snippets are often incorrect and shows no sign it has ever been checked for correctness. I am basing this assumption on the fact this is the 7th edition and blatant errors still exists. Errors range from syntax to logic errors, both in the explanations and code ... Read More
Rating: - Opearing systems concept
I have been using this book for my master in IT science and it has been a great help in my studies. I hardly have to go elsewhere for research; its content is very clear and very concrete. I have to say that this book has added a great value to my studies.
Rating:  - Informative, but very, very dry......
This book is very informative if your interested in learning how operating systems work. Unfortunately, Im not really interested in it, I just have to read it for a required class. The material is very dry so its hard to focus on what your reading.
Rating: - Not a very good one
I had to buy it for the course, but I really prefer Tanenbaum books, you can find more science. Pages reflect light so you should have indirect lighting, I had difficulties reading it.
