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.

This defeats your whole idea of not having an application
based OS. The only way I would see it is having all the
maps as files, then loading a "Map1.doom3map" file would
start you off the game. Or to play multiplayer you would have
to run a 'module' that adds a bunch of servers to your
file system, then have a 'doom3server' mimetype that would
load up the doom3 'module'.
