Oh come on now, who the heck wants to use modern operating system 
technology?  That just doesn't make any sense.  I mean, I'm fine with 
people doing research, and having lots of really great ideas that could 
really make our lives easier and generally make computers better and 
easier to manage, but to actually incorporate those ideas into the 
technology we use?  I think that's a bit extreme.
