 Xv6's use of the x86 makes it more relevant to
 students' experience than V6 was
 and unifies the course around a single architecture.
-Adding multiprocessor support also helps relevance
-and makes it easier to discuss threads and concurrency.
-(In a single processor operating system, concurrency&ndash;which only
-happens because of interrupts&ndash;is too easy to view as a special case.
-A multiprocessor operating system must attack the problem head on.)
+Adding multiprocessor support requires handling concurrency head on with
+locks and threads (instead of using special-case solutions for

+enabling/disabling interrupts) and helps relevance.
 Finally, writing a new system allowed us to write cleaner versions
 of the rougher parts of V6, like the scheduler and file system.
