Yeah, I might be just re-inventing the wheel here, who knows? But I had this (original? I doubt it) idea a few months ago and I was meant to write about it for some time now. So, my idea is about creating a new operating system that is like none of the current ones. It would be so different, that porting applications from other "traditional" systems wouldn't be possible. But the gains would be much more important of what we would lose by implementing a brand new new system.

> It sounds like it would be great for editing existing files, but for creation of new files it might not be as effective as the traditional application way of doing things.
The system would work based on MIME-types, so it will be as easy to work with new MIME types as it currently is under MIME-only based OSes, like BeOS. As for very generic files, like a .o for example, some defaults operations will be available unless you install new modules for the new kind of files. These default operation could be something like "open with a hex editor module", or something.
