Just write a nice/sexy UI with: - a program to chat with all MSN/iChat/skype/etc - firefox (consider using a that a microsoft office like website for words, excels, etc) - a program to listen to music - a program to watch videos - a program to read pdfs And that's all. You have covered 90% of the needs of 90% of the existen users. An OS that never fails, and that has just 5 buttons for those things, is all they need. Don't even put names to programs, jsut: "chat" "internet" "music" "videos" and "pictures" cheers mariano > The effort is simply too big. Microsoft knows about it.
