Presumably they'd have to be rewritten, but if you're talking a new OS anyway everything's gotten be rewritten, because you won't have the standard UNIX syscalls. This is not something to embark on lightly, which is why I haven't embarked on it yet. But imagine a future where using a traditional OS means there's close to a 100% chance that you will have your identity and/or financial assets stolen, or where these computers are widely used in the military and a security failure literally means you're dead. We're headed there anyway, judging from all the headlines on data breaches and identity theft. There'll be system failure at that point, as well as a strong incentive to rewrite everything as a secure system.
