Microsoft Research is already doing this

OK, OK, it's not often that you hear the words "Microsoft" and "Research" together in the same sentence (they're usually busy buying out other companies in order to "innovate"), but their research division is pretty much autonomous from the huge corporate automaton, while still getting large amounts of funding.
So, what kind of cool things have come out of their labs? Well, for one thing, there's the ubiquitous network OS that I read about a while ago. This is possibly the coolest damn system I've ever seen. So, yes, if it's already in the M$ pipeline, you'll probably be seeing it in a store near you in coming years. It's only a matter of time and bandwidth.
On a side note, if anyone's interested, I have an inside contact at MS Research, and I was able to get my hands on a screenshot of this sweet little system, and subsequently posted them here. I hope that there's an open source alternative in the works too, this is really too cool to miss.
