Maybe this suggests a different kind of OS paradigm: instead of the traditional, draconian operating system which defines the user experience and shapes all the applications, how about having a nearly-invisible microkernel to handle hardware control and broker messaging, and building the rest of the "OS" out of cooperating, user's-choice components similar to Frontier, Netscape, server software, etc.

I think that's called "Linux". ;-)
