An OS that doesn't suck? Anyone? Please?

- an open source kernel
- utf-8
- Unix line endings (LF)
- a graphical environment that tries to be fast and user friendly first, worries about "network transparency" later
- mount volumes without creating a mount point first
- eject the cd-rom even if there are open files
- change process priority without being root
- signed binaries
- universal binaries
- run (legacy) Windows applications
- application oriented filesystem hierarchy (see Windows/OS X/Gobo Linux)
- document oriented (as opposed to Mac OS X)
- application-modal popup dialogs (see Mac OS). Stick to current application window, move with the window, don't show up in taskbar
- Windows taskbar until, if ever, something better is invented
- application settings stored in text files (xml?), machine parsing/writing oriented but human -editable. Alternatively, use a sort of registry but make it mountable as a filesystem
