To do or not to do

In feb 2000, Rob Pike published a white paper "System Software Research is Irrelevant". This is more than a truth now and people who have realised this are silently admitting to the statement. Today, we are all concerned/bothered about creating new applications with existring technology or coming up with a technology that is actually an amalagamation of existing technologies. Where has all the thinking gone in coming up with a new OS with a new architecture..not a Windows based or a unix based one..something which is different??
does all this make any sense???
