when RAM was a premium and expensive it made sense to have an encompassing Operating System... such is no longer the case... it is time to allow the software manufacturer to write the Operating System that uses the software program at the best advantage... the computer should have the software Operating System needed to power the computer... the software should contain its own Operating System that makes the software work most efficiently... that would remove the bottleneck that is the fault of the bloated Operating System...

the Operating System (as we know it) is outdated

i am just saying it not necessary for the Operating System (as we know it) to run software programs... software programs would be more efficient if they inclused their own Operating System and the computer would have less variables to contend with...

The approach sounds interesting; however, when switching between apps, the experience, consistency, and efficiency becomes very difficult once you start switching from app to app. You're using the developers ideal interface, which might be completely different from the next.

Were programers to actually bother to take the time and energy to design their Apps to work within the framework of the OS design specs, this wouldn't be an issue. Much of the "bottleneck" you refer to is caused by sloppy programing on the part the App developer. There is a certain percentage of it that IS the fault of the OS, but these sort of things are being updated, fixed and pushed foreword as the OS progresses.
What you propose is interesting but a fairly silly approach to a problem that is not a huge issue.
So if you have three programs running, you're effectively running three operating systems? How would something as simple as Copy/Paste work?
Something I think you haven't even considered is that the operating system provides hardware abstraction - programs don't need to know what hardware they're running on, only that the standard interfaces/libraries to access hardware are available...
Imagine if every program had to include its own set of drivers for every graphics/sound card?
Sounds just like DOS 3.2

- Back to my old 2.2GHz C2D MB after selling my MBP and wondering what my next Mac will be :)
Am I the only one that finds this ridiculous.... where does UI fit into this concept other than a mish-mash?

Apparently searching isn't part of his new OS either:
