Hmmm. That's interesting. Back in the 70's I earned my living working on H6000s (although not on Multics). I'm pretty sure that no one would have bothered with a simulator if not for Multics so that's another reason not to dismiss Multics as a failure: someone, today, still cares enough to write a simulator just to run it.
