Linux did everything right, if you want a kernel that looks and behaves like Linux. If you want a kernel that does something differently, see the other replies in this thread. All of these things (such as a stable driver ABI) would radically change Linux, and are probably very bad ideas.

I'd make an open-source kernel inspired by the best parts of Windows NT. Not a direct clone of 30+ years of legacy APIs (ReactOS), nor an emulator trying to fit the square peg of Linux into the round hole of Windows (WINE).
