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.

Not at all. I never said that there won't be any executables around! I just said that there won't be full pledge applications that can do coffee as well as rendering. Some basic form of an executable that can define the rules that the rest of the modules should load/interact might be needed for things like games or other "integrated" and "non-file based" actions.
