The Integral Operating System- Version 1.0

The Integral Operating System

Version 1.0:

As one of the most influential figures of human spiritual evolution, Ken Wilber has been called "the Einstein of consciousness." For devoted fans and interested seekers alike, here is an unprecedented chance for you to "upload" Wilber's teachings as he illuminates the intricacies of The Integral Operating System.

• Review:: 'An excellent introduction and overview A very compact and useful overview of Ken Wilber's Integral perspectives and practices.
• Review:: 'Where's Wilber? Aesthetic choices are interesting. Does it mean anything that the IOS packaging is elegant verging on impersonal, sort of like hotel room art, ditto the almost cool yet generic techno music bumpers? If you've never seen Wilber, it's interesting to see him teaching in a corporate blue suit, then catch a different glimpse of the comic book hero persona at home, shaved head, tinted glasses, lovely ripped-up physique-at home, so there's a personal touch right? Yet throughout I felt a tight, controlled stance, a veil between me, purchaser of IOS and Wilber, something I did not feel when reading the superb "A Brief History of Everything," though now that I think of it--there really was no intimacy between me, reader, and authorial persona, rather I was listening in on conversation between Q & KW. Why does he tell it at a slant? Wilber frequently verbalizes "we" as opposed to "I", not the royal "we," I'm sure but rather "we at the Institute." This would be lower left quadrant if you want to get integral, though basic knowledge of grammar suffices-no need for Integral Calculus-not I, Ken, interacting with students in a raw, unscripted manner or presenting information specially recorded for me, purchaser of this kit. This is an arrangement of carefully excerpted bits from the Institute archives, questions voiced-over by cyber-babe, as if accomplished without Wilber's participation, including "rare" audio bits-something that always kills me when we're talking about a living personality. Or is he? OK, I get it. He might be dead, and that's the point: Wilber, "principal architect of the IOS" is supposed to be in the background paring his nails so that the theory, the Institute live on, separate from any cult of personality. Smart. Except I'm obviously not the ideal purchaser of this multimedia product; likely this product exists because folks requested something like it. I can love a mind-or a book even, aesthetically, can love the weight, the feel, the smell-but I can't love a map. I understand I'm likely the minority view-usually am. My husband, for example, loves maps, and no matter how empathic I believe I am, when I try to imagine what he feels tracing his finger along a map route, I always hit a wall. One of our ongoing marital disputes involves wall dýcor; I want art, he wants maps. Guess who wins? Maps are cheaper. Might as well frame newsprint. I loved "Brief History" to the same degree that I loathe this IOS 1.0; I remember thinking, when I read "History," that I could photocopy Wilber's maps and, you know, place them over my desk for a while in order to contemplate them; but I thought the more important point was not the map but my interpretation or internalization of the map. I'm slave to no man's map. I knew better than to buy a kit; any woman will tell you it's a raw deal and you end up with lots of packaging and unusable eye shadow shades. But I thought, let's see about Wilber's kit, anyway. I don't like decontextualization or, in this case, recontextualization, don't like reworked stuff; it smacks, ironically, of a kind of reductionism so that the focus on developing higher states of consciousness seems like simple self-absorption or yet another in the American tradition of self-improvement. Next time, I'll go for greater complexity and contextual richness and pick a Wiber book instead. So here's a postscript, for what it's worth. I had a minute and did a super-quick scan of the Wilber web-sites, and the question that struck me, as a thirty-something mommy, was this: do children exist in the Wilberian universe? If a theory of integral parenting exists, I'd love to read more, but meanwhile I'm working toward an idea of evolutionary parenting on my own. If you're not a parent, or if you're a Boomer and did that a long time ago, you won't care about what I'm saying, but it is relevant in terms of demographics and integral practice, and the obvious strikes me now, that this product exists for either my mother (though she probably can't run a DVD) or my baby sister, but not for someone at my stage of life; that I'm interested in Wilber's work is probably anomalous. Consider Wilber's concept of the essential modules of integral practice: physical, cognitive, psychodynamic and meditative. First, we're given a hypothetical integral practitioner named Jackie, who takes a daily multivitamin, rides her bike to work, does power yoga, visits a massage therapist, studies the AQAL model, keeps a dream journal and meditates. Can someone please differentiate Jackie from your average nice, socially-conscious, single, self-absorbed San Franciscan, elbow-deep in the descended grid, for me? If Jackie's lucky, she can meet most of these needs at her local health club/spa, then pedal to the ferry building for organic take-out, so maybe Integral Institute should open a line of wellness centers. My main point is that Wilber is advocating the balanced life, and I'm all for that, as some cultures maintain balance as the essential mark of the cultivated or scholarly life; perhaps only in America would we be so atomized that we need "cross-training" spelled out. At the same time, intrinsically integral "peak" experiences-those that potentially fuse mind-body-spirit and dispel ascending or descending impulses-such as childbirth should not be discounted within a larger framework of integrated life experience, and I think an important distinction should be made between, say, smoking pot, and conscious childbirth. I'd maintain that other viable forms of integral practice exist, and that some people may accumulate integrated life experience in terms of phases, clumps, decades; for example, in my twenties I actively pursued the physical mode in law-enforcement training, followed by a more cognitively-focused period as a graduate fellow. My husband and I are now in that phase of life, career-building for him, child-rearing for me, where the idea of finding half an hour to meditate is ludicrous-our lives are totally out of balance now, but that's OK. You see a similar pattern among highly-successful people who spend decades leading unbalanced lives in the pursuit of success and who then, at a later stage, pursue a more balanced approach, made possible, ironically, by the money, leisure time, etc. afforded by their earlier single-minded drive. I'm assuming, thus, that this product is aimed mainly at those Boomers who have time and energy for self-improvement.
• Review:: 'mini version of kosmic consciousness I found some new tidbits in this format that were very helpful, but in general, I had heard most of this on Kosmic Consciousness. IOS is probably best suited for those who don't want to sit through 12 hours of interview. If you like a lot of material, Kosmic Consciousness might be better. It's probably a matter of personal preference. I'm really looking forward to the Integral Life Practice Starter Kit to be published in Dec 2005. I think that the more extensive format is my preferred way to access to Ken Wilber and I imagine that the depth of coverage I'm looking for to follow up Kosmic Consciousness is going to be on ILPSK. Good stuff on here, but if you have KC you probably don't need this. This could be a good intro to KW for those never exposed. Start w/ the DVD's and skip around until you find a topic you're interested in. Do the DVD's first and then follow up w/ the written material. That's my suggestion at least.
• Review:: 'Top Heavy I found the Integral Map to be interesting and informative. That we are indeed integral beings, each aspect of ourselves overlaps into other dimentions of our human existance. His bottom line of living an integrated life is essentially all there is after taking away the layers of grids and labels. I felt there was a real lack of depth and areas were touched upon briefly and then the next item was qued up. I came away with some new insights but in general was very disappointed.

• Review:: 'Nice Introduction to Operating Systems The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the basics of operating systems which includes memory manager, processor manager, file manager, device manager and network manager. This part is presented in such a way that it can be easily comprehended by even novices and the authors did an excellent job here. The second part of the book deals with specific operating systems. Details about MS-DOS, Windows 2000, UNIX, [OpenVMS]Create? Alpha and OS/390 operating systems are provided in this part. While there are few locations where the explanation is not very clear, for the most part it is understandable. This book was a required text for an undergrad course in Operating Systems I was taking. I read it from cover to cover and overall I liked it very much. I would have liked to see more visuals, examples and exercises. I will not sell this book but I will keep it for future reference. Like another reviewer mentioned, some knowledge about computer peripherals is necessary to study this book, however no specific language is assumed. Highly recommended to those who are new to this topic.
• Review:: 'Great Intro to a complicated subject This book really hits the important info about a complicated subject. When I was studying OS in college, I didn't need to create operating systems, I needed to know what they're all about. This was the required book in my OS class and I could read and understand even the complicated stuff. It's a good starting place. This is one of only 2 textbooks that I didn't sell when I graduated. It's still a good reference. I highly recommend it.
• Review:: 'Anemic, Obsolete, and Contains factual errors When I received this book in the mail, I was curious as to why it was including a large section on MS-DOS. While there is historical and pedagogical justification for covering MS-DOS, the cover text claims that MS-DOS is one of "the three most widely-used operating systems". This statement is a bit dated. While MS-DOS may have formed the basis for early versions of MS-Windows, current versions are NT based. The book's discussion of the relationship between MS-DOS, Windows, and Windows-NT is a bit muddled. Turning to the actual section on MS-DOS, we read that MS-DOS was the "successor to CP/M" which is correct. However, the authors go on to flatly claim that "CP/M ran "8-bit machines marketed by Apple Computer and Tandy Corporation". This claim is hard to understand. CP/M was an operating system which ran on Intel 8080 and Zilog Z80 processors. The Apple II computer incorporated a Mostech 1802 processor which executed a superset of the Motorola 6800 instruction set. The two instruction sets families were mutually incompatible. Further, it is well known that Steve Wozniak produced the operating system for the Apple II. Ignorance of instruction set incompatibility is not a good indicator of textbook reliability. While the book does cover Bell Unix and Linux, it does not appear to cover BSD. BSD is historically significant in both the evolution of the unix operating system and the internet. The index also lacks a reference to the GNU project which is a pivotal component of any delivered Linux system. While this text does cover some operating system theory and does distribute architectural principles and features such as RAID systems throughout the text, it does little to explain how operating systems actually work. In particular, it does not have much in the way of code samples for key components such as the multitasking kernel. This text lacks a separate section for architecture review. It begins with a chapter on memory allocation and proceeds to a chapter on process scheduling. While architectural features are distributed throughout the text, the text can not stand alone for programs which expect student to learn systems programming. Physically, the book is handsomely produced and is of a more student-friendly size than many other textbooks. It is well illustrated with illustrations for such classic concurrency problems as the Dining Philosopher's Problem. This book may be appropriate for a course taught to future IT technicians, but should not be considered as a text for a Computer Science, Software Engineering, or Computer Engineering program. This review is for the Fourth Edition ISBN 0-534-42366-3
• Review:: 'Excellent treatment of OS concepts This text explains OS functions and features from a conceptual standpoint, with a focus on how and why things work. An overview of the components of an OS is given, then each piece is explored in detail. The general OS model consists of a User Command Interface, Process Manager, Memory Manager, Device Manager, and File Manager.

  After covering the OS from a general perspective in the first half of the book, the second half deals with the details/differences of MS-DOS, Windows 2000, Unix, [OpenVMS]Create? Alpha, and OS/390.

  This is an excellent introductory book, explaining the inner workings of an OS without using complex math and code examples. The foundation provided by this book will prepare the reader for real, hard-core OS details that are found in other OS texts.

• Review:: 'New Students This text is a good introductory text for students who have little computer background. The first chapters introduce students to basic concepts with end of chapter questions which help students apply learning. The end of chapter questions for chapter seven were not supported by text instruction. Hints for instructors: Review the text and look for minor glitches - these will need to be corrected by direct instruction.
