Distributed Operating System

I commented about a post Scoble made about Microsoft's P2P SDK.

It reminded me about distributed operating systems for some reason. Back in the late 80's I remember being shown a really slick prototype of a distributed OS being developed by a company just on the outskirts of the University Of Waterloo campus. That company tanked or was bought and development of the OS stopped if I recall correctly and I haven't really seen anything like it in the mainstream since. Doing a google search I found a list here. Not sure how current it is but I see there is some activity in this area and probably has been for a few decades at least. Although, it would be interesting to see when a distributed OS becomes mainstream and you're running one on your desktop.

Anyone want to make a prediction?
