MS-DOS user experience was extremely similar CP/M. In fact, one could safely say MS-DOS/PC-DOS only existed in the first place as a "quick and dirty" approximation of CP/M. (because IBM and Digital Research could not agree to licensing terms to bring CP/M to the IBM PC)

In no part of heaven is there a monthly subscription fee.
In no part of heaven does your data go poof and disappear if some 3rd party company goes under.
In no part of heaven is privacy of your data at the mercy of a 3rd party, that doesn't share your interests.

I believe what they're proposing is largely the same, if not identical, to Content-Centric Networking from Xerox PARC.
The central idea is:
Instead of asking one particular server for some content, just ask for the content by name.
