"Plan 9"... as in "Plan 9 From Outer Space"?  

Somehow I have to think they're going to change the name
before marketing it.

Sounds interesting, though.  Who's working on it; where can
I get more information?  (Unless it's another one of these
relentlessly interactive, icon-based, rodent-infested,
dumb-user-friendly, smart-user-crippling systems that are
so trendy these days, in which case I'm not interested.)
