Has anyone heard of this OS or tried it?
Your thoughts, please.

Sounds like fun for some Amiga, PowerPC and Warp developers.
A closed source (as best as I can tell) processor specific O.S. isn't going to take the world by storm. But as a long list of kernels in a post above shows, there's plenty of room for alternatives.

Quoting Dvorak, from the article you linked:
This is much more exciting than the pedantic Linux world, which can't seem to consolidate, let alone compete with Microsoft on the desktop.
He's off his rocker, I say, off his rocker.
Linux is not fragmented. It's big and diverse, with players focusing on everything from embedded apps (TiVo set top bixes, TV remote controllers, palm tops and wristwatches) to the extreme high end (NASA just announced a deal with Intel and SGI for a 10,240 processor system with 500 terabytes of ram - not disk - ram).
One Linux kernel development stream, with its head at Linus, remains, as always the centralizing force behind all this.
Desktops will take a bit longer to dominate ... years not months. Their time will come.

Sounds like an operating system designed to put you to sleep.
