I read one article of our ukrainian technical autor about Oberon OS and it
tells that ``Oberon concepts of user interface have renderred essential
influence on developers new perspective OS, in the first place, Plan 9'', if
this true, how?

Acme was inspired by Oberon. There is some text
to that effect in the Acme paper.

You can download Oberon as a user-space program
running on lots of systems (search google).
If you use it for only a little while you'll
see a lot of where Acme came from.
I tried this a few months ago and was
really frustrated by the interface. It was simultaneously
so close to and subtly different from Acme that I never
really got the hang of it. (Of course, that's not
necessarily Oberon's fault; if I'd learned Oberon first
maybe Acme would be infuriating.)
