This reminded me of a couple of things: Inferno as an IE plugin: http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/plugin.html Puppy multi-session LiveCD: http://www.goosee.com/puppy/multi-puppy.htm And what it seems like you're suggesting is almost exactly what Squeak is: an image that runs on a platform specific VM: http://www.squeak.org/features/vm.html If we wanted to show a demo for people, we would just need to include all the VMs compiled for whatever architecture and environment we planned on showing.
