One of my early mentors was a former product person at Apollo in Mass. and was nice enough to tell me all sorts of war stories working there.  I had known about Plan9 at the time, and from what he described to me about domain/OS it sounded like there was lots of overlap between the two from a high level design perspective at the least.  I've always been keen to understand if domain/OS grew out of former Bell Labs folks, or how it got started. As an aside, he gifted me a whole bunch of marketing collateral from Apollo (from before the HQ acquisition) that i'd be happy to share if there is any historical value in that.  At the time I was a video/special effects engineer are was amazed at how beneficial having something like domain/OS or Plan9 would have been for us, it felt we were basically trying to accomplish a lot of the same goals by duct taping a bunch of Irix and Linux systems together.
