I will briefly review old ideas on how
can superfluidity occur in a crystalline solid, briefly mention a
theorem that any supersolid in continuous space must be in the
incommensurate state and have gapless vacancies and/or interstitials.
In He-4 vacanices and interstitials are gapped, and thus ideal crystals
are insulating. Moreover, non-equilibrium vacancies form an attractive
Bose gas and phase separate from the crystal bulk. I will present
path-integral Monte Carlo data to prove that. To explain recent
experiments on the non-classical moment of inertia of He-4 solids one
has to consider various types of disorder. I will show examples of
superfluid defects in lattice and helium systems, and discuss which of
them are likely to be present in experimental samples. Finally, I will
discuss the "ultimate" superfluid disordered state---a helium
superglass which we observed to
be remarkably stable at low temperatures and elevated pressures.
