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.

Sorry - didn't scroll down... now I see
I like this approach as well... why not take it to the extreme and let the kernel be part of this modularity as well... just have a few lines of code in the first partition sectors that direct to a certain module, which in it's own turn initializes driver modules and different parts of the kernel. Of course every modules doesn't need to appear as a module of it's own to the user. They can easily be grouped in meta-modules to make it simpler.. one module isn't locked into one meta-module though...
