I wouldn't consider it a dream. I have done something simple enough like PE 
but completely graphical (and IMVVVHO a lot more beautiful) -It actually 
looks like the BeOs GUI) and my windows in S*BASIC (even interpreted) 
opened up almost as fast as PE ones. I could continue working on that but I 
stumbled upon the scheduler part :-)
In order to work with something like that you need a level of access to the 
OS that I 1. Don't master, 2. Don't have from working from the "outside"

As for the fonts you are right, however it could be "corrected" by using 
the bitmap screen font / scalable output font approach...
and don't forget the "ArmQL" coming out soon :-) (Especially the XScale 
version using as core emulation engine uQLx could easily outperform both 
QPC2 and Q60) (Or at least that's what preliminary test have shown Dave 
IIRC :-)
