Heh, so we're not talking 'bout Linux, but "JavaLinux with a worldwide
directory service and great big security". Then we would only have mobile
agents flowing around the Net, and nobody would come up with the idea of
using iopl & friends to get tight control of hardware.
Maybe the day Linux gets so fully featured and stable that it will get
boring to hack around, people will use it as a development base for
EarthOS (hey, I gotta take out a patent on that!), which will be OO, and
have a worldwide VFS, and more than 40 bits encryption inside :).
