I had a look through his comments.  

He is expressing his opinion about the facts, with an emphasis on
*opinion*.

Dunno about VMS but he is laughably wrong about OS/2, he says that
OS/2 was not setup to run unix-style daemon processes; WTF was DB/2
running on OS/2 then?

He needs an editor to go through that book with a chainsaw.
