exactly.  that would be great. a GUI OS with the flexibility of X, the
program base of DOS/Windows, and interest of Linux.  Runs OS/2, Windows 3.x,
9x, Linux, FreeBSD, X, and Java apps.  free development environment, a huge
knowledge base on everything we know about the environments, and a common
low-level API of all the emulators.  the OS's OS.

hmm.  what a wonderful dream.
