I was seen THIS article, it says "five features operating systems should have". What do you think about this article? Do you agree with the selected features? What features you add to those five ones? I agree in some of those, but I think that there are a lot more important stuff than that five ones showed...

#1 MorphOS is quite responsive all the time
guess there is no need for distributed computing.
#2 Datamanagement is always important
not only for OS
#3 Nice feature but not related to any OS
#4 RemoteDesktop is nice but still quite unrelated to the OS only but support would be
nice ... just not really required for an OS
#5 Every program should be modular

I guess the author is not really sure what an OS is for
I would call his article "How data mamagement should work"

what about this features:
1. MUI
2. Ambient
3. PegPong
4. some guys porting stuff like ottd
5. ...

I think one of the most features for an OSS is a full capable web browser, supporting the newly stuff (CSS, XHTML, latest javascript...) and native TCP/IP featuring advanced stuff like firewall...
