After emailing documents across the couch (yes, the house server is now back up), I ran across Croquet Project, a framework for network shared environments which uses 3d hardware for its interface notions, and asks:
WHAT IF...
...we were to create a new operating system and user interface knowing
what we know today, how far could we go? What kinds of decisions would
we make that we might have been unable to even consider 20 or 30 years
ago, when the current set of operating systems were first created?

What we now know or what we now have? There are all sorts of weird things in Windows left over from the days of ruinously expensive RAM and teeny-tiny disk drives. Had cheap memory and 60 Gig drives been available back then, much evil might have been avoided. And MS-BOB might have been strangled in his cradle.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
