If I understand you correctly -- and I'm not sure that I do -- you could be positioning yourself to be at the forefront of the computer industry as it gradually shifts into a more virtualized state. 1: I don't think you're clear yet on what you're imagining. Have you tried drawing it out, writing it down, mocking it up? Written any actual code yet? 2: There are likely a huge number of challenges you haven't fully considered yet, from scalability to document compatibility to organization to UI ... and on and on. This would be a large undertaking to execute well. How would you handle the huge number of people with poor/nonexistent "broadband" in the U.S.? 3: There are also likely already a number of people already working on this. (My company is working on something similar, though not as advanced as what you seem to be proposing.) So, you'll have to get moving! Early bird gets the worm! :-) 4: Don't be afraid to reinvent the wheel. If my extensive experience with computer-using novices has taught me anything, it's that there is a huge opportunity to throw out everything about current UI and start over with something much more "human". For example: get rid of folders entirely. They're a horrible idea, always were; they're a holdover from a simpler time. People have a terrible time with folders. They download pictures from their camera and have no idea where they've gone; they accidentally open up "My Computer" and get lost immediately; they misplace documents all the time; they can't organize them at all. How would you handle this differently? I'd love to see something cool like this.
