I'd love to redesign computing from from the ground up. With deliberate decisions that focus on clarity and elimimation of redundant layers. I suspect you could even obsolete pieces like the IOMMU, relying instead on robust static analysis and sensible data transfer primitives. And tackle latency at the same time (less steps = faster response).
While not exactly what I have in mind, Propeller seemed like a shot at re-envisioning things from a hardware level. At least, it made me go 'huh, there's an elegant alternative to the status quo'. Singularity was another ambitious attempt to do some substantial innovation, that time around plumbing of the OS.
