In UNIX systems you already can adopt many of plan9's design ideas. For example, any application can open and read files to communicate with other apps. I think the main problem with plan9 is that what it offers can already be done in other flavors of UNIX. So, what remains as innovation is the software itself, which is not enough to make users adopt plan9.
