I would like to see Nintendo-LOGO. As in the programming language. Perhaps a visual programming interface, drag and drop code and enter in values.
Of course, the turtle shell would be a Koopa shell. I initially imagined a 3 dimensional version of LOGO (this was shortly after N64 came out so those were the images in my head at the time), using the x,y,z co-ordinates.
Oohh.. could you create an XML version of LOGO? It seems like a plausible idea, I think. Like using XML as the data set to feed an interpreter that renders the data as LOGO?

OK, now the other thing I've thought about with modern GUI's... This is especially important for powerful CommandLine systems (such as the *nixes). Windows has to shitty of a command line for any real, functional usage.
They have some interesting ideas for the future, but for now it's shit. And I think that they're keeping their own versions with the DOS names. DIR instead of ls, for example. IMO, DIR is just fucking weak. Anyways, they want to have the capabilities to pass full objects as paramaters into the commands given. I don't remember much about it. The idea is nice, but knowing how M$ works, it's just gonna be a shit implementation.
I'm sorry, but man...
OK, wait, what was i saying about negativity???
OK, so...
I think there should be a system wide "URL bar" at the top of the screen. A simple keystroke can get you there, and you can type any address and it'll open full screen, with the URl bar at the top, and at the bottom, where there's the task switcher on most GUI's these days, I would have a single command line, perhaps expandable if you mouse over it if you want more than one line, and have the option to have more than 1 line if you prefer that way...
The actual output would just be another "window" in the system(like your popopen terminals, except it would run "full screen" between the two bars I just mentioned.
Instead of windows, you'd just have tabs beneath the URL bar, and switch with numbers on the tabs CTRL-Number...
anyways, yeah... that's it for that.
