The new slew of virtual interfaces are cool because they are somewhat transparent with respect to the existing interface; i.e., machine code in the general case, i'd like a non-linux platform to take plan9 (not inferno) to more machines i am not intending to knock inferno. But does it not seem to have missed the boat as a unifying platform, and now is more of a niche, 'embedded' solution ? (Maybe though this was intended all along.) I seem more interested today in broadly employing the more general virtual interfaces such as vx32, lguest, kvm, qemu, etc nkl
