the differences are quite fundamental. p9p tries to add some plan9 bits like acme to other systems. when there is a conflict or there's an abstraction the host can't handle, it is not supported. so namespaces don't work. if you're looking for a slightly nicer $os or $os with acme, this works fine. if you want a plan 9 experience, you will be disappointed. it's going to be tautology, but plan 9 in a vm box is exactly the same code running the same way as plan 9 on real hardware, except the hardware is virtual. - erik
