I think this is an interesting comment in light of the evolution
thread. Most people (incorrectly) equate evolution with progress.
Whether or not other more popular OSes are evidence of progress, it's
interesting to consider the idea of success. The millipede has been
around with relatively few upgrades for the past 420 billion years or
so. It would be hard to call it unsuccessful, even though it can't
(yet?) effectively run, jump, or fly.
