UNIX was a terrific workhorse for its time, but eventually the old nag needs to be put out to pasture. David Chisnall argues that it's time to retire UNIX in favor of modern systems with a lot more horsepower. "UNIX has a lot of strengths, but like any other design it's starting to show its age. Some of the points listed in this article apply less to some UNIX-like systems, some apply more."

Is anyone majorly working on Plan9 still? Last time I saw it X11 was ported and you could run something that looked vaguely like twm and a couple of apps written to show off a motif looking toolkit...
