Xanadu in concept is crazy, a system of documents that aren't just linked via hyperlinks, but where the actual content was linked between different documents. Unfortunately, after many, many times to develop it, it fell on the way-side. It makes this news quite interesting.
I strongly recommend people to read this wired article about it http://archive.wired.com/wired/archive/3.06/xanadu_pr.html http://archive.wired.com/wired/archive/3.06/xanadu_pr.html. Also some responses to the article. one from someone from Project Xanadu http://archive.wired.com/wired/archive/3.09/rants.html http://archive.wired.com/wired/archive/3.09/rants.html.
