Y'know, but I can see a business model here. OS for translators, OS for pregnant women, OS for feeding moms, OS for retired seniors, OS for elementary school children, OS for adolescents, OS for... umm, it could go on for quite a bit, right? Modern operating systems are meant to be universal. That is, they are not the goal, they are just a mean to an end. The end experience, are services or utilities. If to use a metaphor, the OS is a night sky, while what we are there for using computers, are the stars, the planets, the astronomical phenomena. If the OS grabs too much of your attention and ultimately, too much of your machine resources and too much of your energy just to do stuff, it is done wrong. Which is why, lightweight, is an imperative. Every OS should be lightweight and in theory, OS-es should compete in actually vanishing, which means, becoming less and less burdensome to the machine and the user alike, to the point where they feel like gone.
