Well, if Microsoft is truly dedicated to their new "Security Initiative," they will follow Apple's lead once again. They will do a complete re-write of the OS and use an emulation layer that's built into the OS (cough) Classic Mode (cough) to run older software. I'd love to see a completely open *nix-distro as the core of the OS (re: Darwin), but that's probably asking too much...
I was thinking about doing something very similar to this. I haven't gotten around to implementing it yet, but what I want to do is to use the VFS feature of Samba to add CVS-like (possibly by interfacing with a local CVS server?) versioning control to certain directories of files.
Easy transition for our non-UNIX friends...

MUD Shell

Seriously though, folks.
I could actually see this sort of a shell being very useful in getting people comfortable with the commandline. I have a good friend who is a devout mac user and cringes at the thought of a commandline. Yet, we MUD all the time. Go figure.
Now that OSX is going *BSD, this could be a nice shell for them to use in keeping with their philosophy of making everything as intuitive as possible!
Plus, I actually like using the shell. It's not as powerful or convenient as bash, but it has the potential to be!
Following the previous posts, I found the Powered By Linux squares at http://www.linuxresources.com/pbl.html in quantities of 250. Does anyone know if there are any sites that have bought a crate or two and are selling them individually?

What's more important than banning polling just before an election is banning Push Polling completely!

Just my $0.02.
