I'm not an expert of this. However, I think I know the motivation
of IBM's VM attempt. Because they decided their main job as
"ON DEMAND" business. To do this, they need such a frexible
mechanism to offer various on demand, on line business.
However, this is Plan 9 community. Is their anyone trying to
make on demand business? ☺
By the way, anyone Plan 9ers here is invlolved in the development
of DeepMail?

Great paper, also details the "go closed source" decision in 1982, which
I doubt IBM would do today.
