Teradata has been selling a commercial DBMS utilizing all of these techniques for more than 20 years; exactly the techniques that the MapReduce crowd claims to have invented.
Considering that all the major browsers are free (as in beer), I would only support the latest versions of each browser. There's no reason the user couldn't upgrade, because for example he couldn't afford it. The only real limitation to this are companies where the user is not allowed to upgrade software, but if you have a big customer you could just add their version to your compatibility list. This still is a hell lot less than supporting ALL available browser versions down to 3.
It's not a file system, because it doesn't even closely implement any POSIX semantics. It's more like P2P, without the P2P:)
Also, I don't really get what's so special about this. I mean, you could also UUEncode files and post them to a forum (or even different forums), and find some way to reassemble these files.

Their website shows wikipedia, not MSN Encarta :)
This is nothing new. With OpenBGPD, Zebra and Quagga there have been OpenSource BGPD and OSPF-Deamons available for a LONG time.
