Very pleased to say that OSC 8th edition (the dinosaur book) is now out. All the details are at Amazon.
Unfortunately a textbook is never done. On my current todo list is updating all of the powerpoint slides that accompany the text, made available for faculty to modify and use.

Hi,
I’m currently taking this course at Uvic, and I’m wondering if you can help me with a copy of the solution manual for the practice questions on the textbook. Thanks very much for your time
sincerely

Hi, the solutions to some of the problems are available on the WileyPlus site that is associated with the book. Unfortunately, you can’t just buy access to WileyPlus, rather your instructor had to sign up for access to it for the students when he or she chose the book for the class. There is an instructor’s manual that is available for, ahem, instructors.
I am Himanshu from India.

Last line of first para.
“such as windows xp is non preemptive”
This sentence is wrong. Windows XP is preemptive kernel. (infact first version of Windows NT was preemptive.)
Please consider this mail and verify better to Microsoft pages.
Himanshu, you are correct. Thanks for reporting that typo to us.

Hi Varun, your Wiley sales person is the right one to get you a review copy. If you don’t know who that is I can ask Wiley to track it down for you.
Hi Peter,
I studied from your book as a student and now I’m referring to your book to teach…
I just wanted to bring this into light that Wiley site doesn’t have the list of all colleges in India and hence I’m not able to register myself on the site. What should I do ??
Best Regards
Cauvery
Hi Cauvery, can you send me a link to the page that you are trying to use to register? What are you trying to get by registering at the site? I.e do you need the instructor’s manual or a review copy?
–Peter
Hi Peter,
Following is the link I am trying to register on -
https://professor.wiley.com/CGI-BIN/LANSAWEB?WEBEVENT+RD598F83C82320301E0B704W+PRD+ENG
I have spoken to a rep recently and she told she would add my college name to the list. I am keeping my fingers crossed to get that done soon as the Semester is starting in January.
I want to get access to Instructor manual and other restricted resources for Instructors.
Thanks
Cauvery
Hi Cauvery, Wiley should be getting in touch with you to make sure you have everything you need. Thanks for using our text!
–Peter
Thank you so much for the help Peter.
