- Xerox PARC systems were too expensive for most companies. Alan Kay says if you want the future today, you must be willing to build the hardware from 15 years in the future
- The commercial attempts to bring Smalltalk and Lisp into the market failed, mainly due to mismanagement and the high prices

- Attempts to replicate Smalltalk and Lisp interactive experience in common early 80's hardware failed short to provide the same experience as in the Dorado and Star systems.
- Younger developer generations educated in UNIX and microcomputer OS never experienced such systems
