How much would Intel have spent if Minix didn't exist and they had to write the Management Engine from scratch?

Without Tanenbaum's contribution to computing, we would all be paying higher prices for our CPUs.

The first management engine’s core wasn’t even an Intel designed core… the powers that be didn’t trust (nor allow) that to happen.

Even now, I think Intel North Anerica has very little knowledge of how it works or who coded it—it was all offshored.

the process theory is a greater value imo, because its generally underdeveloped. i adopted the mechanistic approach (gears) to asynchronicity from it and will try to apply to the runtime. OSes are now less of concern, kinda established and hard to shift those positions - too heavy and probably doesnt matter for advancement of process-based models - because you can do it in any OS
