Friendly and secure desktop operating system

For a while I've been wondering if it's possible to create an operating system that would allow "stupid" users to easily do whatever they want, but still prevent viruses and other malware from doing any harm. Today I finally spent a few minutes thinking about it and then wrote some of the thoughts down: http://iki.fi/tss/security/friendly-secure-os.html I'd like to hear comments about it. I hope it's easily enough understandable, it's really just intended to give some larger ideas and let you figure out the details. I have no doubts that someone else hasn't had similiar thoughts before. If there's any similiar papers or books, I'd like to hear about them. Also note that I believe it would be possible to implement this in relatively short time on top of some existing UNIX system and maybe KDE or GNOME as the user interface. So I wouldn't say it's just a nice dream. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
