Ideal OS: Rebooting the Desktop Operating System Experience
0
Modern desktop operating systems are bloated, slow, and layered with legacy cruft that still functions only thanks to Moore's Law. Innovation in desktop operating systems stopped about 15 years ago and the major players are unlikely to heavily invest in them again. We can and should start over from scratch, learning the lessons of the past.

Message Bus (improvement)
A message bus will be the only kind of IPC. We get rid of sockets, files, pipes, ioctrls, shared memory, semaphores, and everything else. All communication is through a message bus. This gives us one place to manage security and enables lots of interesting features through clever proxying.
In reality we probably would continue to have some of these available as options for apps that need it, like sockets for a webbrowser, but all communication to the system and between apps should be messages.
