welcome to the world of ubiquitous computing :) sometimes i doubt that this vision will ever happen though. it's like the promise of AI from earlier decades. we kept hearing, "any year now, AI will make its major breakthrough and go mainstream". after enough years, people finally realized that, although limited AI has definitely seen its applications, the vision of AI is still very far off. i feel that the same is gonna happen with things like project oxygen. they're great frameworks for organizing all kinds of cool research, but in the end, "pervasive, human-centered computing" is a pretty difficult goal. not to mention that project oxygen takes on the semantic web at the same time!
