I have put together a partial blueprint for a software system
and would like to begin sharing it around a bit.
At core, the new system is a server -- a web service -- implementing
a kind of virtual cluster. When a user logs in he is assigned a
private virtual cluster that boots the operating system of his
choice (not Windows or Linux -- operating systems written for this
particular virtual architecture). He is given a (transactional) file
systems to use and it's there he can install and uninstall various
kernels, application binaries, personal files, and so on.
Of course there is a default OS which provides a file browser
and simple applications for web-based email, spreadsheets,
calendar program, personal information database, and a few
others.
There are lots of ways to imagine building such a service. I've
found a particularly elegant way.
