I think that Plan 9 is an ideal platform for ubiquitous computing; I
could easily imagine a Plan 9 server as the core of a household
network. Inferno, based on similar technology, is working in telephone
switches right now.
It's also excellent for large, loosely-coupled multi-processor
networks; when those are implemented using Linux, they invariably
drown in excess (and costly) hardware. One of these days (but
probably not soon, sigh) I want to make serious use of it in lighting
modelling.
