What I'd like to see is a community effort to make a new OS that does what
needs to be done without worrying about being compatible with something that
currently exists.... Sure, it may not have a lot of software available...
Two examples of the results of that... AmigaDOS, BeOS. There are others.

Disclaimer - I love the Amiga and have never used BeOS but have nothing against
it. They were popular but eventually orphaned, in part because they did not
receive the blessings of MicroSoft - Word, and eventually Office, in
particular.
