I've just seen a new article about GNU Hurd: http://www.h-online.com/open/features/GNU-HURD-Altered-visions-and-lost- promise-1030942.html
I've found this through Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/duplicates/ckjt2/gnu_hurd_altered_visions_and_lost_promise/ I guess we can expect a lot of wrong statements in comments people make there so it would probably be good if Hurd developers keep an eye on it and correct mistakes with facts.
