Of course you're assuming that this advanced culture works similarly to ours. Which is pretty doubtful considering how many distinct cultures we earthlings can come up with on our little planet.
1. What is the long-term effect of its use on your joints? After using these things a while I assume you wind up spending your later years in a wheelchair. 2. (At the risk of sounding like a ludite) do we really need gas powered shoes?
Anywhere from six months to a year from now we'll see a post on/. announcing that LunaCorp filled for chapter 11. I'd bet any amount of money that this will never happen and that many of the people working at LunaCorp know it will never happen!

You won't get an argument from me regarding Intel/AT/x86 (or whatever you want to call it) having some serious problems.
However since it's installed base is so large it's a good place to start.
I also think that most of the people bitching about this issue are accessing/. from an Intel (or AMD) based system.

I find a lot of these comments funny considering that Linus himself said once that he hoped someday someone would come up with something better then Linux. AtheOS may not be the "Linux killer", but it least it shows someone is willing to try something new. BTW why are so many of you pissed that it's based around the Intel CPU? What would you platform would you use for a new OS? (Before you answer ask yourself two questions 1. What hardware are you using now? 2. What hardware did you first install your very first Linux distro on?).
Of course they left out THE most important cultural contribution of the 80's. The one statement the future historians will look back upon and realize we lived in a golden age. The A-Team.
