draw on it and the simpler .net BCL and not ride win32
that would (will be) a killer.

So let me restate the need:

* a unified well architected core component model
which is extensible from OS services to application
objects

* the object model should be defined from the kernel
layer for process/events/devices etc. up and not
started at the application layer


Hm.

Any real world application for which POSIX is not enough?
Any real world application which can benefit /enourmosly/ from this?

State, please, problem first - do not put the requirements ahead of problem.

Since as of event system I would say POSIX (and Linux in particular) far ahead of permanently inconsistent Win32.
[ Win32 is a very bad example, since you have there a "spawn one more thread" solution/workaround for any problem. Try to read MSDN by yourself. ]

P.S. <kidding> Probably Java is what you are looking for? (java.* after all some kind of kernel for Java, and jvm is some kind of cpu ;-)))) </kidding>
