I've been following it intermittently for years, and I, too, am glad to see it slowly being discovered and examined by techie folks. It really does have some great ideas, and I would welcome some of those being incorporated into systems in the future. But the argument always comes back to this: how can one even hope to bring anything like this up to part with current systems? And the answer is simple, yet not warm-and-fuzzy: You can't, not right away. This is something that will take time.

I think highly of Windows, OSX, and Linux, but I don't think we should rest on our laurels. If we have the time and energy to do better, we should.
