Abstract The current state of the arts in operating systems happens to be a grotesque accident. We're suffering daily from the rotten foundations of modern computing, particularly the widespread use of the programming language C, and the process model of UNIX and its evil twin, Windows. This talk will illustrate why the current approach is futile, and present alternative approaches and ideas. We will look at different historical approaches, why they failed, and what we can learn from them. We suggest an alternative approach for an operating system and computing environment, and present a roadmap based on the work we have done so far towards a system that at least will be secure against buffer overflows, integer overflows and double frees, to free our hand to care about real problems, like getting the actual job done.
