Unix is another example of a worse reimplementation of an earlier system to fit the hardware constraints of the day. The thing is though, the security model of multics would be a much better fit for today's security needs, but we don't have it because the hardware that could run it was too expensive 40 years ago, which seems crazy when I think about it. Sometimes it feels like the industry as a whole is no longer ambitious, that building fundamentally better systems is no longer considered important. It's nice that you can run unix on your phone, but i would like to run something better than unix on my desktop. Where are the OS's that are ambitious enough to eventually turn into scarlett johansson in the movie 'Her'?
