I think this shows a giant leap in the progression of how computers will fit into our lives, but I am not sure that this is the best approach. If we could work more on an operating system that could multitask far beyond the current OSs, then we would not have to use the extra RAM and CPU cycles of running many instances of the same operating system. Also, similar programs or programs that use the same database, etc. could share resources.
