let me append to my response.

past capa systems suffered from poor performance, I understand.  EROS's
designer thinks he can solve that problem, so that EROS's performance on
common tasks will approximate that of mainstream OSes.  I do not
understand most of what this guy says.  

also, EROS's GPLed.  I do not say that is an improvement, but 
a GPLed OS has done very well lately in popularity.
