VitaNuova has a great selling point for Inferno Grids which is often
used to belittle Plan 9's viability in this area -- their stuff can
easily be integrated with other operating systems.

All I'm hearing around here is "The world isn't going to switch and
run only Plan 9 you know".  Well, Inferno can deliver interoperability
now, which is better than saying "what the world needs to do is
implement 9p" :)

I'm waiting for publications to come out describing Inferno Grids in
better detail ...
