Plan 9 is not, and should not in my opinion, be a Linux replacment, Unix replacement, MS Windows replacement, and so on. If you really want Plan 9 to dominate the world and see all your friends use it every day, invent a killer application for it. That's the only way you can shove existing systems of their pedestals. Making Plan 9 exactly like Linux, or Windows, or son on, will not cause people to leave the real Linux or Windows and use Plan 9. Lack of a browser is not why only the select few use Plan 9. It's a culture thing. If you want Linux you know where to find it.
