Re: (OT) Your Dream OS

I'll take ...

the clustering and stability of VMS
the UI of SunOS circa 1992-ish
the windowing system being a mash-up of NeWS, X11 and Plan 9
the consistency of Plan 9
the frugality with resources of QNX
the scalability of Irix
the even-my-mother-can-use-it-ness of iOS and its applications
the the-hardware-just-works-ness of anything Apple
the FOSSness of Linux or {Free,Net}BSD
the documentation of Oracle's databases
for the filesystem I want to smash together the elegant simplicity of POSIX, the versioning and ACLs of VMS, the databasey-ness that never really made it into BeOS (I understand that OS/400 has similar concepts, but I've never used that), and networkability of Plan 9

I would also like a kitten, and for sausages to grow on trees.

Those don't look anything like sausages. Kigelia africana comes close though.	[reply]
