@NickRoman Some of it comes down to R&D vs. Marketing, Kay played a role in R&D at several companies (Apple, HP).

If there's not a market for an idea, and a customer ready to adopt it, it won't travel far. Implementations of the ideas have to push them out to the marketplace.

So sometimes, the ideas are widely available, but systems using them aren't.

Many desktop machines in 2009 are "supercomputers" compared to 1988, so it's not CPU-limited.

This video has < 2000 hits on youtube.

So what, this stuff was only possible on some powerful workstation or supercomputer? Some of these ideas looked good, but now decades later, these ideas are still unknown, much less commonly used. I guess some ideas either aren't as good as they look or it's just possible that some good ideas will simply never get used. That's what I'm getting from this more than anything else really.
