Yes. If it doesn't happen, the open source isn't working. Aw, hell, TOPS-10 bias alert!

I think both are needed.

I'm not sure this top-down monitoring will work well. There are just too many thing to keep track of and definitions of "wrong" will be "right" for other situations. I just don't know; this is something that needs top echelon bit gods (not HLL-weenies) gather for a two-month's worth of BS sessions. Do these ever happen anymore?

This is a side effect of MS not providing technical specs to all and it's business model of breaking every f***ing standard in the business.

Hardware manufacturers won't learn their lessons unless they include software in their atbreastudes. This schism is what broke DEC.

JMF's and TW's implementation of SMP had a good start with this. Those two didn't even realize that this was what SMP was for.

Yup. I'd have expanded the physical area to a power grid or a state or country as the next step.

I wouldn't call this slowly. For the little bit of time that the sources have been available and under development, this OS has done some remarkable changing over the last decade. There still isn't quite enough "bit gods" for the real innovations to begin. There seems to be some kind of threshhold.. rather like that 100th monkey myth.

It's like all new tech. The first years are expensive and can only be bought by the rich (think of Betas, VCRs, HD-TV, color TV). At some point the demand gets to the point that the device becomes a middle clbutt status symbol. Then it eventually becomes a requirement to get anything done.
