I think the reason all the comments are referencing old OS ideas is that people who understand your question can't answer it. Recognizing a novel OS idea requires familiarity with the state of the art and history of OS research and someone like that wouldn't be answering from a "all knowledge tossed out of the window" perspective. Also, the very notion of "OS" is pretty loaded and brings along a lot of conventional thinking. I guess a serious attempt could have some computer culture-oblivious people generating ideas and then some veteran people filtering out the reinvented wheels. It would still be hard to tell any worthwhile ideas from the garbage.
