Every hard-core OS aficionado has done it: Laid out a grand scheme for creating the perfect OS. Taking all the best features and attributes from the OSes we love, and making sure to assiduously avoid the pitfalls of the OSes we don't. Maybe our goals were modest, and we just wanted a slightly tweaked version of an existing OS. But sometimes we're feeling ambitious, and we have large, creative ideas for revolutionizing computing. Long-time OSNews reader and contributor J. Scott Edwards just couldn't help himself, and he has set about to not only plan, but to try to build his dream OS.

Yes I did submit.
Many times with all the details.
I gave up waiting and redirected my efforts on other projects.
Basically it was that:
An operating system for the older.
That is very accessible and simple to use.
And I would do some market-research to see which programs would be their favourite (Gramps? Easy Game? Safe browsing)
Very visual and iconic.
Email would be spam protected.
And so on.
Babyishly easy to use and operate.
Totally Free.
And possibly with free support too - if I or others can find the extra time.
I would have to dig my documents it's been a long time now.
