Lots of later follow-up research has been published.

I am proposing to fund a secure parallel operating system, GUI, applications and hardware from scratch in 20 KLOC for the European Community to gain computational independence from the US. I consider it the production version of the STEPS research.

We are in the signing up stage of the researchers, programmers and chip designers and have regular meetings and presentations [1].

Half a trillion Euro's is the wider funding pool, several hundred million for European chips and operating systems, billions for European chip fabs, dozens of billions for buying the secure EU software and chips for government, schools and military.

An unsolved problem is how to program a webbrowser in less than 20 KLOC.

I think that the STEPS research was a resounding succes as was proven by the demonstration of the software system in Alan Kay's talks[2] and confirmed by studying the source code. As mentioned before in my earlier HN post, I have a working version of Frank and most other parts of the STEPS research.
