There are a few places I could see Mill making inroads.
The security features could be very useful for the big internet companies, Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc and they can afford to spend a few tens of millions of dollars on something speculative like this. And they do, with things like Arm or OpenPower servers.
There's also the high end embedded land where you don't need to run a traditional operating system. Network switches, cell towers, that sort of thing.
