The rest of the world is either converting to UNIX or trying to make their kernels provide all the services of UNIX. Beyond that we have increases in capacity and speed, some mucking about with the use of with multiple processors, we have little 2D pictures and a mouse thingie and we're moving toward singing animated 3D icons and stereo glasses.
