OSNews, Generic OSes 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.

Inefficient

This is a very inefficient approach to a lot of things.
How would word processing be done? First load up
the text input module. Then Load up the formatting module.
Then load up the spell check module. Then load up
the text input module again. Repeat. Or how about a video
game? What mime type would that be?
