the other OS has an at this stage highly consistent object model user along the lines of COM+ from the kernel up encompassing a single event, thread etc. model. Things are quite consistently wrapped, user mode exposed if needed etc. If people were to fully draw on it and the simpler .net BCL and not ride win32 that would (will be) a killer.

So let me restate the need:

Quoted 8 lines

* a unified well architected core component model which is extensible from OS services to application objects

* the object model should be defined from the kernel layer for process/events/devices etc. up and not started at the application layer

Hm.

Any real world application for which POSIX is not enough? Any real world application which can benefit /enourmosly/ from this?

State, please, problem first - do not put the requirements ahead of
problem.

Since as of event system I would say POSIX (and Linux in particular)
far ahead of permanently inconsistent Win32.
[ Win32 is a very bad example, since you have there a "spawn one more
thread" solution/workaround for any problem. Try to read MSDN by yourself. ]

P.S. <kidding> Probably Java is what you are looking for? (java.* after all some kind of kernel for Java, and jvm is some kind of cpu ;-)))) </kidding>
