Note that Linus' disagreement was largely over design decisions and microkernel stuff. Linus actually respects Tanenbaum a great deal. Tanenbaum's book on operating systems is a CS classic and is a direct influence on the young Linus.

Pretty sure my own education had a Tanenbaum book in amongst it, from which I learned a number of things. In another world, one where my brain isn't its own worst enemy, I could well be one of those IT managers. There the FUD would have been the main factor in my decision. Probably. Because I'm not sure I'd be completely happy if it was a Linux buried in the chipset either. Especially one largely outside my control.
