I'm sorry, but I couldn't even get through the article.

Every time I hovered over one of those underlined ad words in the article, a popup blocked my view of the article. It was really distracting.

I got fed up with it after the 5th time and closed the tab. I expect many technically-inclined people did the same.

Are people using Plan9 for Real Work™? I've always found it inspiring in it's simplicity and orthogonality, but it's easier to be simple and orthogonal when you aren't concerned with the last 10% of performance or compatibility with existing software, and I wonder if Plan9 sacrificed real world usefulness for conceptual purity.

While the article is old, I think it's a decent howto for installing plan9. Now I just need a use for it...

The article is fairly old, so I think it may be worth pointing out that kqemu is no longer non-free.
