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.

RE: Don't need a new OS to do this.

Its not patch work. A clean OS doesn't need to be patched
to have a different approach to a file system. You
don't need to patch the OS to have an intelligent mime-system.
There is no reason to re-invent the wheel to put it on
a new kind of vehicle. All you are proposing is a
different approach to the user interface. Nothing about
the lower level of the system.
