I forgot one more thing.

In the case of 2nd release, this is not so clear, because it required us
money to buy it.  In this sense, it was a product in an extent.   However,
this release is open to the world, and this is that attitude we are familier
with in the science world.   It also indicates that anyone who cannnot
understand it has no vote to make it use.  :-)  This is a logical approach
to explain what is Plan 9.  In the real world, however, many researchers 
are responding here to newbies like me...
