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.

Just as your article states everyone that has used a computer for a long time has dreamed of changing little things. A litle tweak there, a fix here. It all boils down to actually doing it. I`m all for dreaming up an OS (I`ve done it myself) but if you actually pull it off, or at least some of it then you will really shine. It seems you have taken the first and brave step though, allowing other people to know about it. I let a few of my friends know about my OS (Similiar to your OOP design but with more VM/User Mode Linux thrown in to allow it to talk or be all/any other OSs when needed) and was laughed out of the room.
