I'd like to ask a question, but before I do, feel I should say, I've been on this list long enough to understand that Plan 9 is a research vessel, not an OS that's targeted at commercial deployment...

That being said, while huge scalability is certainly research-worthy, does anyone actually run anything on Plan 9 that needs or would otherwise benefit from 8+ CPUs and more than a few GB's of RAM?

Furthermore, does anyone out there run Plan 9 on non-x86 hardware anymore?
