Of course a local OS matters. If my desktop box has a 1 k CPUs,
they can't be fat CPUs, nor can they have large memory grains. So the
amount of shared code present in each node better be minimal.
I can't afford to replicate the bloat all over the place.
So, some OSses can go places other OSses can't.

Excuse me while I bust an aneurism laughing. How is that bloated thing
supposed to scale to a 1 MBit grain architecture?
