Indeed, what is gained?  The MOSIX environment
migrates processes from one heavily loaded CPU to
another less loaded CPU.  That process is of interest
only to the original home site of execution.  And the
host OS system is unaware of the guest processes. 
This is an interesting way to make use of unused CPU
cycles, but how does this translate into a useful p2p
environment?
